Give him a break, heīs obviously hurting a bit here,
there are few certainties in aviation but here are some:
1.there will always be foreign pilots in UK, just as there will always be Uk pilots abroad.
2.Paying for a TR is here to stay
3.agencies will always take experinced TR pilots well ahead of newbies
4. it is extremely hard to get job with a basic licence.
And I canīt believe people are still quoting twaddle about 'true pilots' not being in it for the money - noone in their right minds gets into flying for money because there isnīt much, however alot of 'true pilots' have kids, mortgages etc so I won't do it for free.
Although yesterday morning I might have done for the views of the glaciers....
