"The new 21st century Cadet is someone who has been a truck driver, plumber, sparky etc and then one day decide they want to be a pilot."
Well I fit into the first part of this comment, but I have always wanted to be an airline pilot and have used hard earned money to pay for training; working two jobs to save money for most of my teen years. The ones not complaining are actually to new boys who have always wanted to fly and are happy with the pay and love the flying.
I'm not having a go but I do think that some people on here need to have respect for us. I have respect for the experienced pilots on here, you guys were my heros when I was young! But it's sad that you actually seem be a moaning bunch. Hope I'm wrong..
No doubt I'll get a mouthful from someone in a minute
