I already have a job - and if you want a beer in Dubai, that's where I'm sitting right now (just under the Outer Marker).
I care about what happens to this industry - I don't want it to be diluted by lack of attitude and experience. I certainly don't want my grandkids to be flown by people who don't knoow what they're doing up there!
I have no problems with past papers either, but to use them instead of studying is not right (fancy not even opening the manuals - that smacks of laziness to a high degree). The crappy 14 exams are there for a purpose. Bad as they are, I think they should be treated with the respect they deserve if you want to be a real pilot. Currently, the standard of pilots required seems to be the equivalent of Microsoft Engineers, and if you know about computing, you know what I mean!
