Yep agree with you Safe Skies : Aviation is definately what you make of it.
You can either sit around and grumble about it - or try to stay as positive as you possibly can, knowing that your resolve will get you through. (one day)
If you really do want it - you will get it (maybe not tomorrow)
There are times like this in Aviation that really do sort out the people who really do have a passion for it, and those who are interested in the glossy side of flying (that doesnt really exist anyhow).
