. Why dont you want your son to go into the airline industry though, is it because of all the stress it involves?
William,
That thought might just make my wife and son chuckle because every time they see me pack a suitcase they think I'm off on holiday.
You've taken a 'tongue in cheek remark' quite literally and I suppose I asked for the response you gave! Actually, I wouldn't dream of interfering with my son's career plans. What I should perhaps have said is "I have never encouraged him to pursue an aviation career".
It's great to see young people with career minded direction and you can bet your bottom dollar the majority of pilots using this forum would tell you they achieved their flying ambitions through gut 'single minded' determination.
In answer to your 2nd part of your question; B757's, European routes.
