"most must have gotten their jobs really handy and probably had rich daddies to support through Training !"
is actually quite offensive, almost all of the people I work with have debts the size of mortgages.
The problem is that after spending such a large sum of money on training many people are happy to spend more getting a type rating and grab the first job they get offered whatever the terms and conditions. This has a detrimental effect on the rest of us because it drags down the base level T&C’s.
Only by venting can we get an idea of what things are like across the board. By working together and expressing our feeling we can let wannabe's know what life is really like before setting off down an expensive and frustrating progress.
Rant over.
By the way I am very happy in my job, fair T&C's for the amount I work and a great bunch of people to work with.
