Flemish, why is it a bad attitude?

Why should people not go straight into jets?

me fATPL ME/IR/MCC, 250 hours, finished MCC early November, had one interview and another one coming up shortly. Both regionals flying TP's.
Flemish isn't saying it's forbidden to send your CV off to a Jet Op. But if you go to OAT blow £80k and then another £20k on a SSTR ... does it really mean you're owed a job any more than myself who spent £40k on training and worked as a FI for a year?

The attitude is pretty childish.

Nobody is forcing these people to take out big loans, if you have £1k a month to pay off for the next 6 years then of course you can't work for £20k pa but don't look down your nose at the people who are debt free and just want to work in aviation for the love of it.

Good luck with the TP job too - shows me there are good jobs out there.
