Great post, spot on.
I
took my old man to the meet & greet and he was very sceptical, but like you say its hard for parents to pis* on their kids parade, especially after all the effort to get on the course. Beware, it’s a very slick marketing machine.
Sometimes it needs the sobering view of a parent to get us starry eyed wannabes to understand this bit;
YOU ARE THE CUSTOMER!!! YOU ARE PAYING!!! YOU ARE NOT PAID THE MONEY BACK FROM THE AIRLINE!!! YOU HAVE A REDUCED SALARY!!! YOU ARE NOT ON A SPONSORSHIP!!!
