My son showed absolutely no interest to my intense relief. When I entered the career, we felt like the astronaut core- we were stars. Over the years I saw the career change gradually to slavery with young entrants being treated appallingly. Now, you spend up to £100k getting yourself trained up and treated like dirt, and when you can finally get a stable job in a second rate louse of an airline and treated like dirt, your pay to settle your debts is pathetic and you are likely to be let go on a whim.
Does that answer satisfactorily? I came up through BA and another cowboy set. Unless you can get straight into BA, you are unlikely to have a satisfactory career.
The son earns far more in a fascinating, self-employed IT career than he would ever get flying, even in the left seat.
