Never fails to amze me the amount of chips on their shoulder pricks post on this site.

Guy asks a normal question and gets bombarded with abuse and sob stories about how hard you have all worked to get where you are.

I would never do such a sh*tty job as a baggage handler, driver or anything after spending £60k on training. Thats not on.

I didn't go to school, work hard and get 3 good A-Levels, then to to a top uni and get a good degree, to pay 60k for an ATPL and do a menial job like a baggage handler.

I would have thought that an fATPL would show up well on any CV for a DECENT temporary job, while looking for employment.

My experience is different. Woke up one day and decided I would like to be a pilot. Wasn't a lifelong dream or anything but I thought it would be good.

I applied to an advert in a magazine I saw for pilot sponorship, got it and now fly A320s and enjoy it.

Guess you have to have the talent to make it as easy at that though!
