www - I suspect your 50% is about right.
What you (not you www, but everyone) need to realise is that opinions on pprune are posted by people who can be bothered to post, not by the silent majority. This means that by their very nature they will tend to be extreme - also we hide behind the cloak of anonymity which is a good word that took me three attempts to spell.
Right now I love flying - it's spring, there is a whole summer of instructing to look forward to. So do it
Next week I will hate it and the last 7 years have been a complete waste of time and money because I will have a rejection letter from flyeurope or whoever. So don't do it
There do seem to be a few people who consistently p**s us all off - whether it is doom mongering or some 21 year old newbie with 250 hrs in the RHS of a jet who is telling us the whole thing is easy and we just need to plug away for the 3 or 4 months that they did oh and by the way did you know my dad also flies for the airline now there's a coincidence. SO SHUT IT.
Rant over thank you for reading!
