Well I think PPRuNe's great. I've had lots of good advice from people that have been a great help. Had a few good laughs here aswell. And seen as you've posted this in a wannabes forum (I don't know if you've posted it elsewhere) I'd like to point out the difference between 'pathetic whinging', and the wholly understandable frustration and disappointment of those who have put a heck of a lot of time, work, money and no little skill into achieving their dream job only to be unemployed long after their training has ended.
