Good point vp. One of the most impressive candidates I / we interviewed for a first job with the oop North airline of choice these days had worked in Tescos for 8 years in order to fund his training. Great kid and attitude demonstrating commitment and motivation in spades. Obviously academically and sim flying good enough but outstanding character. He got the job. Frankly I got sick and tired of hearing, well…I left school and wanted to be an airline pilot so joined L3. The elephant in the bath being, the not asked so where did you get 100k? Do not believe the hype that the snake oil salesmen at L3 spout. They only care about the money. Toxic.
