How did you react to negative comments, along the lines of you`ll never make it or you dont have what it takes to become one ??
Funnily enough the CAA examiner doing my IR test made some flippant comment along the lines of how I wasn't geared up for an airline job and the chances of me making it were slim. Its difficult to argue with a guy that hasn't yet told you if you have passed or not so I remained calm at that point
About 2 months after that I was strapped into the RHS of an A320 as my first job with 250 hours or so. Now a couple of thousand hours later and holding an ATPL I look back at just what a tosser he was. Having never flown for an airline himself (he was an ex CFI and had a small amount of time on King Airs) it was a bit rich that Mr CAA thought he knew the inner workings of the airline business.
Its an unfortunate fact of life that the majority of people you will come across during your training will have little clue of what the airlines are about but will have no trouble espousing at great length their "fountain" of knowledge about all things airlines! Beware when their stories start my mate told me...................
Good luck with the training.
