Finals19,
Splendid words of advice but perhaps you have missed the point?
Kudos, glamour, and social admiration. Frankly, I need some 'gold bars'.
ALL my Mum and Dads friends know that I was away to "Train as an Airline Pilot". It was a proud boast. Indeed, at many social gatherings I have been questioned on the idiosyncracies of modern jet flying. I have been delighted to elucidate!
How are we going to recover from the social indignity of only flying for fun in a little Cessna from a grass strip. We'll be the laughing stock! It's not like we'd been keeping my outstanding progress at Oxford a secret is it?!
Faced with these stark choices, the requisite funding to elevate my flying into its rightful place has been secured. No bank loans required!
