I've done my time stacking shelves. It sucked. So I damn well made sure i was gonna get somewhere in this civil aviation game. I'm proud of what I've achieved...........So no pen pushing peasant numpty is gonna underate what it takes to become a pilot in a cut-throat dog-eat dog industry..... Ever. Be proud chaps and don't let the bastards grind you down.
If you're still stacking shelves, but have the ambition to plant your butt in a fast slippy seat, you should still count yourself as better than the numpties!
Godspeed good chaps.
