They dream of being 22 and 2nd officer of a 777
The 22 year old should be in the bush - getting experience, learning how to manage an aircraft, as opposed to keeping the seat warm! The 777 will be here in 6 years time, it will be here for a very long time! yes you will probably have to start off at the bottom, but when it comes time to upgrade and be in charge of the big shiny jet your experience gained in the bush will be the difference between 300 saisfied customers and some not so, when **** hits the fan over the Pacific.... Personally, im a little worried that some who have gone through the cadet scheme, without any flying experience previous, may be lacking some pretty basic airmanship skills!
