The Real Slim Shady
I must admit you owe me a new laptop for that comment, I spat a very nice Chateauneuf du Pape all over the screen, (its now running very slowly), one of the best comments I have seen in a long time.
Lets face it Chaps and Chapesses, there is no pilot shortage, the old boys are going to do what they need to to supplement their incomes (the ones with no initiative I mean - the ones who haven't learn't the joys of running a business) and the cadets will do what they have to, to get their feet on the first rung of the ladder.
Its called capitalism. Its not a black magic trick, its basic dog eat dog.
If a cadet wants and can pay for his TR then good luck to them, if not things are a bit harder but they should succeed the old fashioned way.
It is far better than the old nepostic way of "daddy knows the chief pilot". Now that stinks and yes it still goes on.
All a TR really does is make the cadets life a little bit easier.
However when they get to interview and they are a tool, then this will shine through.
If I had the money, would I?
Probably, but what type?
At the moment only a C172.
Euro-Millions didn't come up. Bug-ger
