Not worth getting up set about it, unless you own a flying school not affiliated with a university.

I couldn't afford to move 600k's to the city from country NSW, support myself through uni for 3 years and learn to fly. It had to be one or the other so I went to a country school and learnt to fly.

I'm jealous of those that did get the opportunity and I have worked with a few all fine aviators, the only comment I could make was that some did not come out with many quals, I flew jumpers with one degree guy who came out of a 3 year degree with a bare cpl and an instructor rating - no ifr and no atpl subjects ! so wtf did he do for 3 years ? I expect this has been rectified since - it was some time ago.
