young pilots

some of these younger pilots who get in because their father or family members work for the airline. Honestly!

Im not in that boat yet but i can imagine how frustrating and stressful it can be and I hope he finds a job soon. However, i felt that your comment on younger pilots was a little unfair. Aviation, as we all know, demands the highest of standards from every indvidual regardless of whether your siblings/family are in the airline, however, if one doesnt cut the mustard, one doesnt get a job/qualification regardless of whether your father is in the airline.

This may sound totally crazy, but if you are both flexible enough and he wants it enough then look east, China avaition is booming and there is a shortage of pilots over there. obviously a bit of a lifesytle change...!

Nevertheless best of luck,
