Indair967, guitarboy,
I am not supporting what's written in that article.
What I meant to say was that the reason why fresh CPL aspirants in India are branded as mindless gullible spoilt kids is because of such lousy newspaper articles and brainless reporting.
What's even more alarming is the fact that there are hundreds of kids who are thinking of undergoing flight training right now.
Fine .. I dont see any problem in that .. its their money and their decision. ... BUT ... the questions they and their parents ask are :
Will I or my son/daughter easily get a job in an airline after completing CPL ?
What will the job scenario be like after a year or 2 years ?
Will foreign pilots leave by the time my son/daughter completes his/her course ?
and worse ...
I will be taking a bank loan of Rs20 lakhs (~$48000) , do you think the job market will "pick up" once Im done with my training so that I can repay my loan easily ???
The only thing I tell them right now is ... it is the same as asking ...
Will I get infected with HIV/AIDS if I do IT with a h@@ker without rubber ?? (knowing FULLY well that there are millions already infected and carrying this deadly virus !!!)
