Thanks for the reactions on a topic that I believe hasn`t been discussed in a way it deserves.
The thing I want to high light is that there are many guys around that has a cpl/ir that they accuired at "Fastbuck flight training, Wonderland, Florida". Many of these should probably have saved themselves a lot of money, pride and time if they hadn`t started their training. With this I mean that you can be very good at theory and somewhat good at flying and pass the cpl/ir tests but this does NOT mean that you are suited for a job in an Airline/Commuter (Crew cooperation).
So when the general impression is that "there are a lot of unemployed guys out there", how many of them are really qualified and suitable? A lot of them will never get a job because their personality/cooperation skills will be measured below required when on tests/interviews for the airlines. Why not test this before they start their basic training???!!!!
Have met a lot of strange people whom I reluctantly would sit beside during 13 hours to BKK or when the !!!! hits the fan.
Why shouldn`t flight training be at the same level as any other education?
I do not by any means wish to start a debate here about EUR vs USA as I am not in favour of any.
I was self sponsored myself and now work for an FTO.
