Would you recommend a flying ( pilot) career to your children ( or anyone)?.
No, absolutely not for all the reasons Notso. mentioned. Self funded training, massive over supply of pilots for the forseeable future (despite what the FTOs and aircraft makers are saying) erosion of T&Cs, being treated as totally expendable sub contractors by management in some companies.
Went through this the other day on the thread Paxboy mentioned, got the usual "Live the Dream" rebuffs...but I'll still stick with my response..
