At the time they were written that may have been the case (with a little luck and a lot of determination), but after recent events....well we all know the rest of it.
I found them useful when I first decided to follow the dream, but have since found much more information on PPRunE.
I actually received a letter from the author/publishers last week, recommending more of the get rich quick schemes which were put forward with the original manuals. I think the offer of these schemes detracts from the authority of the manuals and the author, I just don't understand why they are included.
Has anybody actually enrolled on any of these courses? If so, am I completely mistaken and are you making £12,000 a year as a secondary income? If there are any success stories, I think the rest of us wannabes should be let in on the news! Sod aviation, I'll become a horserace gambling, property investor <img src="wink.gif" border="0">
Do any of the moderators have views (which can be aired in public) on the validity, and appropriateness of the course offers bundled with the manuals?
