Annenonymous, what is your qualification, what is your opinion about the OP' s question and what arguments do you offer?

Annenonymous works as a pilot for BMI since 14 years.
If there is any truth to that, what do you know about becoming a pilot in today' s world? 14 years ago you had free or cheap flight training, free type-rating, free line training, airlines were hiring and you were offered a career.
I have been fortunate not to have to pay for any of my type ratings
Today you are a bus driver for a regional airline on its way down, who has no idea what it means to pay over 50K for training, 30K for type-rating, 20K for line training and still not being able to find a job, let alone a job that pays the bills and the mortgage with a minimum of job security.
I am a person who has been confronted with the decision of pursuing or not in today' s realities for aspiring pilots.
Annenonymous seems to be very happy with his own career and criticises colleagues who are complaining about T&C' s. That in itself is either exceptional or stupid.

Annenonymous likes to point people to former posts as can be seen from his own history.

Strangely enough he likes to comment on people who are taking a hard stand against P2F. Wait a second, you actually defend people who pay for their line training at BD and you defended the program?

Not good, really not good.
You must be drewling for that management position or maybe you are management sucking in young people' s money. That also explains your exceptional behavior above.

He does not bring any value to any discussion as can be seen from his post history. None of his writings contains any arguments, only useless comments on other posters on useless matters like "closed cockpit door policy".

You hide behind a female alias, to avoid being attacked. You clearly do not want your identity to be compromised.
So you are either lying or you don' t want people attacking you on the internet. What a small heart you have.

Is this the guy we want to sit next to in a cockpit? A guy who knows he is right and everybody else is wrong but is afraid of mentioning who he is? A guy who says "he is only aged XX and only has a PPL and is therefore not entitled to express his opinion"?


Here I did exactly what you did and it is so childish that I would be ashamed to call myself a pilot, let alone a captain at BD with 14 years of experience.

Shame be on you.

well he sums it up - he walked away from pushing for his dream...
Yes I woke up and found an equally challenging, more rewarding career path. That was my choice, I don' t have a pinch of regret and I love it. This all to show that all the "fear of regreting" is a mountain of **** when you face the real issues.

There are alot of people around me whom I had given advice to. Today, all but the people high on ego tell me that I was right and that they better had waited. I have seen one crying because he bought a type-rating against my advice. Out of pity, I always offer to pay the drinks.
