If that is your attitude Sky Guy then I may well be served a big Mac by you one day! It is all very well moaning about things but at the end of the day if you want a job you have to do something about it. I can't afford to sit around for a couple of years paying to keep myself current, can you? I don't believe I am jumping the line, indeed I have not decided whether or not to apply yet. I am just looking for a way to get ahead. Nobody is going to come and offer me a job because I boycott Ryanair!
Also although the wages have dropped and you have to pay for the rating, I still don't consider £30-35 k as me paying to fly!!! It would certainly start to pay some of my debts off.
