Classic! -The bit about lying about passing all your exams was hilarious.
Did you keep a straight face over the phone saying that?

I know of a few training mates who are still unemployed 5 years after qualifying.

not prepared to move away from their hometown
not prepared to take a pay cut
not prepared to flying anything less than a 737
family life has taken over the dream
Great to hear you got there in the end. Thank you for sharing some reasons about the difference between making it and not, that is really helpful. Know any who were prepared to do all that and still didn't get there just out of interest?
