It is normally the case that anyone who decries anything or anybody is either jealous or upset. Don't put the UAS down - it is very selective and has the same standards as basic RAF wings standards - of course the airlines are impressed by this. Most civilian pilots these days choose themselves and when the first selection comes along (ie trying to get the first job)
they start whingeing! If you wanted to be a doctor you would go through the selection process before training not afterwards as is the curent situation as a prospective airline pilot. The flight schools will obviously tell you you are suitable and eventually everyone gets the 'IR' - quite a few of these people will NEVER get jobs as airline pilots.
Think about it!!
