"Thanks for your replies but I have heard it all before"
well why ask the question then?
"When I started on this route I never had any intention of being an Instructor or a baggage handler. I have no intention of doing it now".
You arrogant p***K. Granted, we should all aim high but face reality. If you honestly thought that it was going to be a straight forward walk from training into an airline, then i have no sympathy for you. You obviously fell for the marketing story. Ask any pilot flying commercially, i bet they all have different routes mod/ integrated etc but i also bet they all had to do things which they really didn't want to do to get into the position of doing something they enjoy.
I.E hard workers, people with drive and commitment. Not people who can't understand why the airlines are not battering down their doors cos they've got a new CPL/IR.
"My view now is that people are being taken in by a con".
No, You have been taken in by the con. If you thought it was going to be easy and that you would have to do nothing to get a job apart from lick a few envelopes, Then you are a LOSER.
