I dont recall Mum specifying he wanted be an airline pilot.

You may not have noticed the military operate all sorts of aircraft. They need pilots to fly these aircraft so the military pay young people to fly these aircraft and spend a lot of tax payers money on teaching them to fly. So why would that not be an option?

Every heard of corporate flying. Flying a private aircraft, doing less than 200 hours per year and good if not better pay than an "airline pilot." Not everyone wants to be an airline pilot, flying around fatigued and showing the symptoms of burn out etc.

There is a world outside airline flying. Airline flying is not the be all to end all. Been there dont that.
