Zordon,
You sound like a very nice but unfortunately very misguided gentlemen...
Your son took the Integrated full time route to pilot training... as opposed to the Modular route. This is the part-time route which is usually followed by those of us who generally
cannot afford to go to CTC/OAA etc. but would love to fly commercially one day...
In a word, you have helped to push me and those other Modular candidates out of the running almost
completely...
Whilst the well being of complete strangers is not your concern, I thought the impact of your selfish misguided actions were worthy of a mention.
Some of us don't have a 'bank of mum and dad' to turn to - so I may never be able to get a start in this profession...
In the course of fulfilling your son's dreams - you have destroyed mine and those like me...
