I have no sympathy whatsoever with guys whinging that they are being made redundant with 'only' 100hrs on type.

Get a grip. You got £60,000 of free training followed by a free £20,000 type rating. You then get given some line flying, a salary and a redundancy package. Contrast that with the thousands out there who paid their own way through and sat on the dole just lik you will be. You don't see many of them whinging. They are over on Wannabes getting constructive and pro-active.

Its all very well 'wanting to be a pilot' as long as Aer Lingus are writing the cheques and setting you up with work down the road. Lets see how you cope now its you who has to fund your licences and the next job might be based 4,000 miles away. I bet half the cadets leave aviation rather than knuckle down to it.
