He's young, give him a break guys.
It's not bullying I agree, and he should take onboard what's being said, but he's still only 16 years old and obviously very naive.
Fabbe, the best thing you could do, is read these posts and take in some things that are being said. I must stress if you have an opportunity to take free training then do it, don't even concider anything else.
Enjoy life, don't let it consume you. I have an immense passion for flying and always will do, but don't let it take over your life, enjoy the road to becoming a pilot!
Any my previous post? Anyone remember the EYE GUY at your Gatwick medical?
