For the author of this thread, there are dozens of people who sound just like you on prune. Needless to say you enjoy flying but didn't get into the program. Guess what? TOUGH

A lot of guys do sit on their hands and whine, why they failed and what they can do better. Not everyone is lucky enough to be taken. There are thousands every year rejected for the 30 plus prime spots on the program.

You love flying you say. What do you intend to do about it now? Being a local airline pilot is not the highest pay people in town. Everyone can afford to drive 2nd hand Porsche if need be. I knew one that drove a Ferrari, but has no money at all.

If you have the love, the drive and ambition, time to pay for the training yourself and apply elsewhere. One should not stop trying because of one bump in the road, and there are MANY success stories out there of people getting the flying job they want.
