Morno,
I'm still trying to work out how Mach082 and, in particular, flyitboy's posts answer the initial question posed?
They don't. They are just another bleat about how GA pilots do it soooooooo tough.
It seems you agree with me, yet you don't want to acknowledge it. The cadetship is a shortcut, that would be perfect for someone in their mid 30s. Which was and is my opinion as posted prior to all the chip-on-the-shoulder GA hardship posts.
Maybe you need to dry your eyes princess.
