Truthful and clean? That is what you call a tall order.
However, the point of the post was to illustrate that it is absolutely-and I use the word deliberately-no one's business as to how one acquired the boodle to undertake one's own training. To carp on about how someone else organised their personal funding is to demonstrate a chip on the shoulder. It is an illustration of a green eyed monstrosity of a character trait which does not belong in the cockpit and is more commonly found in the more virulent trades unionists portfolio of repulsive little personal prejudices. Envy is not a pretty charateristic and does not fit well into a small work place which, even if you are a DC10 pilot, the cockpit is.
