Words of wisdom
Two things I learnt during my ATPL ground school....
1. Train hard...Fight easy
2. The thing about aviation is that when it is all going to $*it, you cant step out of the office.
If you want it, keep at it...it is all about state of mind. Step back and look at exactly what you have to do. You will be surprised that it isnt that tough...it is all about mental preperation.
good luck.
ps. Have a read of the ryanir, Ezy looking posts. You will see that you can be the sharpest pilot going..if you are a muppet they wont give you a job. Be a damn good bloke/blok-ess and work hard and you will get a job.
