I've been a regular reader of this site for a while now and would dearly love to have a job flying any type of commercial aircraft. I've probably got the aptitude to do it, have the right work ethic and am prepared to work hard. What i'd never be prepared to do though is fork out several tens of thousands of pounds for the privilege of getting to the point where I MIGHT get a job with an airline - not that I could afford it anyway. It's such a shame that those of us who love aviation but don't have the wealthy parents are excluded from a rewarding career flying.
I really do sympathise with those of you already in the industry seeing your T&Cs erroded by those who are hell bent on getting themselves neck deep in debt just to be able to say they're a pilot. Hope it changes and maybe one day I can change my career too - at my age though it looks like i'll be firmly resigned to sitting in the back.
