The other point is that you have to question the judgement of those who dive in head first in to training, pinning their hopes on walking straight into a jet 18 months later.
So what if you have a family to support? People should maybe factor these very things in to the equation before embarking on their odyssey. I never expected to go with the bare minimums into commercial aviation straight away, even though as a PPL I had more than twice the hours of your average grad when I first considered a career. People who think that they should get straight to where I am with their paltry hours and experience get my back up.
Go out and do some real flying first, cut your teeth somewhere instead of moaning about how much harder it is is now than before. I'll tell you what, those who do sit there waiting will be sitting there for ever.
I used to earn shed loads as a spark aswell.
