No axe to grind. I certainly do not have ill-will towards BA that because I will choose the lesser-risk, more secure way of financing my way through flying the mod way, I won't get to sit in a BA jet as a low hour cadet (if they did indeed re-start this recruitment).
My love of flying came from trips to Duxford with plane spotting mad daddy, and enjoying watching a brother make air-fix models of Lancasters, B-17's, Spitfires and the totally cool TU-95 bear.
Unlike other wanabees, I have no intention of sitting in anything remotely "jet", at least not until I'm 40. Give me a Dash-8 (no jokes pls) or a Junkers 52 (dreaming) over an A320 anyday of the week - thats proper flying
A secure way of training (part time mod) means i never have to risk my house/car which is all fully paid for, so if I have to spend the next 10 years on 12K a year flying piston a/c, then I'll be living the dream and have no debts at the same time.
Thats flying the dream
