Attitude
UAV,
Wind your neck in.
You either want to fly or you dont. Its as simple as that.
Every line pilot (including myself) has sacrificed a hell of a lot, not just financially, to get where they want to be.
I can assure you, when I was an FO I most certainly did not have a hand to mouth existence! All of our FO's seem to be living a pretty comfortable life actually.
Quite frankly, whilst I respect the pragmatism, you have a defeatist attitude, we dont want you on our line.
Pilotho - "...Anything is possible if you really want to do it. If it gives you an opportunity to start a career, why not make some sacrifice now and then when you earn more in future, enjoy life then..." - well said.
