So why is it then '99%' of the people I know with an fATPL who have funded their training by various means and have trained in various ways, would not pay Ryanair for a TR? They have not done the selection and nor would they. They instead are working in every industry but aviation, flying an SEP hour a month, waiting for the tide to change. What makes it all so different for an 18-22 year old that has a charge over his/her parents? Why is patience all of a sudden no longer a virtue? Why is money no longer an object? Because it isn't yours and you haven't had to earn it?

This doesn't apply to the likes of MikeHotel who is 30 something and has paid his/her way - what you do with your money and how much risk you take on your own is up to you. But Having your parents take a risk for your training and then basically blackmailing, actively or passively, with the whole 'it's the only job available forever' line is despicable. Can you not wait in line for your turn? You knowingly joined a big queue. You need to earn respect and responsibilty - not have someone buy it for you.
