Having once stacked shelves at Tesco and now currently hanging round my Flying club on my lunch break I'm with R44:
"But, instead of screaming in disbelief at how stupid wannabes can be, enlighten us with some real world advice that we can all learn from. Those serious about all this will take note and will at least add it to the bundle of alternative opinions that float about on pprune ranging from how rosy everything is having gone from 150 to 777 for zero expenditure, to jobless bankruptcy"
It'd be nice to be helped instead of being sarcastically struck down for being "naive".
We all start somewhere
