I agree that you should not pay to fly. But i must say that i find it really irritating when people on here just bluntly say "Do not pay for it!"
It is easy to have the job and criticize others. How about all of you that have had a job for about 20 years now step down for the new generation...
If you have a job it is difficult to put yourself in unemployed shoes.
Now i do not claim to know what to do, and i was being ironic by saying that you should resign. And i myself would not pay EJ or anyone else.
