Advice

I agree with the previous posts completely. It is sad to see the number of wannabees posting on here with aspirations that are just so wildly out of proportion. I am sometimes shocked to read of the people, established in a well paid professional job. Who are willing to sacrifice their secuirity and embark on a quest in search of nothing but a pipe dream. Alot of the time these people are not exactly wet behind the ears and have young families to support. I cant see the sense? Once in your thirties for example, you will want the nice car and the lovely home. I could not imagine anything worse than the thought of a life debt hanging over my head at such an age. Yes being a pilot is great, you get some lovely views alright. But as so many find out, paying a debt for the rest of your life is crap. Some are lucky I suppose because they have completed their quest and landed that job in the flight deck. The novelty soon wears off I say. My advice to some would be to keep the PPL and enjoy your comfortable life. Re mortgaging houses etc in a crazy gamble to win the right seat in an airliner these days just cant be right??
Remember, you work to live. Not the other way around.
