I'm sorry, but you come across as someone who feels that aviation somehow owes you a living, and that your provenance means that you shouldn't have to do any work or research to get there. It frankly doesn't matter who your parents are, especially if you don't ask them for advice or information - and it definitely appears that you know a lot less about aviation than you think you do.

You need to do a lot more reading and listening, and a lot less boasting about your achievements. Arrogance and misplaced - especially vicarious - pride have no place in aviation.
