Crash, stop being a tw*t. Blacknight et al have been very lucky, but getting the money to pay for a course is only a very small part of the game.
I would have loved to have been in their position, but I wasn't. Does that mean I hold a grudge? No, of course not. At the end of the day, we all do something we love (must do I suppose?).
I would much rather one of them as my FO than a jealous weasel like yourself. I might allow you to drive the honey wagon though. Sort your attitude out or you'll stay tin pushing for alot longer and never experience the utter joy of the other side of an "ATC delay".
It's odd, I usually never have a problem with anyone in ATC, I guess he(?) is just bringing the best out in me!
