Hi
Pseudo, there were a few people who told me that flying was a waste of time and money. There was even one or two who said that I'd never make the grade. One even went so far as to suggest that it would kill me. That one sticks in my mind as the most helpful bit of advice I ever got...
Anyway, the folks who helped and supported and encouraged me the most were professional pilots. One guy in particular who is a family friend. There was no PPRuNe in those days because there were no computers, let alone no internet... geez, can you imagine how dull life was in the years BC (before computers)?
I think that those who are in training right now or looking for their first job right now have more opportunity for support and encouragement than I could ever have hoped for. I refer, of course, to PPRuNe. Anytime you're feeling that it's all getting too much for you, just get on here and tell us. There's plenty of folks here to help you.
Hey
CJ ... wot ya been doin lately mate?
