I think all Self sponsored pilots’ will go to heaven,
and this will level the field a bit. And thinking that jumping through the sponsorship hoops means you have talent is just plain wrong.
And seeing as these days, the RAF consists of a few Knackered Jags, a Tornado and a squadron goat! You’ll not see the amount of good quality Brilcream boys (God bless em!) we saw at the end of the cold war being de-mobbed.
So I say Good! we'll all have to just learn to work for a living if we want to be fly-boys / girls and when we get there we'll be paid better and be better for it.
