Do you really want to be a pilot!
I can't help feeling that allot and of the younger guys and girls in training just don't have a passion for the actual flying anymore and don't seem to know anything about aviation before they start. All they want is a right hand seat and some gold bars and most of them don't even know what an airline pilot actually does or have even looked in the cockpit.
I have seen them looking with confusion at a DC3 and asking what that a/c is and why is it's undercarriage broken!
I flew a guy ages ago in a C206 who was just starting his training and asked me how many engines we had!
I know this is not all of you but times are tough and I think if you really want it its times like this that your passion and knowledge shines through. Some one who really really wants to fly will be happy in any aeroplane at the start, its not what you fly its how you fly it.
