We've all got our money the hard way. Whether you worked your nuts off saving it, or borrowed it and are working your nuts off paying it back.
I agree that the airlines should give us credit for this, we are obviously very determined and enthusiastic people (or perhaps stupid). I think its a real shame that it seems to be the other way. If Daddy gave you the cash for a Cap 509/integrated course, or someone sponsored you through, your CV will go strait to the top of the pile.
It sucks.
