To quote another thread:
From Daisy120's post:
"I seem to detect an underlying groundswell from the Uk potentials, that its Ok to rest on the laurels of a good CV and wait for the Fly B or EJ boys to welcome with open arms. Forget it. get your arse out into the paddock and get flying...anything...but show them that the dedication is founded on the passion to fly and not the parameters of conditions of service, a gold crusted ATPL and the ticks in the box. It is afterall, an apprenticeship. One that is built from handling aeroplanes in hard environments, putting brevity to the "war stories" and being true to the industry you have chosen as a career. Good luck."
And from me:
All the best to all you hard working, skint yet still potential Jet/Turboprop/Long Haul/Short Haul/Freight/Military/Instructor/Air Taxi/Crop Spraying/Parajumping/Glider Towing/Balloon Riding/Bush Flying/Medevac/Ground Effect Craft steering Captains whatever route you follow!
Remember to enjoy the ride as much as gaining the qualifications!
