EGGC, your post should be in every
newspaper !!!
All of us newcomers start with the same dream but as you struggle moving towards it, you watch it being torn apart... You think of the past and if you 'd do it all over again and the answer is yes you would because you 'd still want that answer to the question, ''Will I succeed, can I do it, will I FLY?'' You would do it all over again because you 'd feel that no other job can fill your heart like being up there...
I knew when I started training that there was no shortage of pilots out there... but if I 'd be a good pilot, that would definitely make a difference... airlines would certainly want to have me I thought! What a fool I say today and aren't we a few?!
Being a pilot is easy, being a good pilot isn't but that's of no significance... only thing that counts is € and $ !! Airlines where proud of their pilots once, today they 're proud of their APs! As long as the AP flies error-free what do you need a good pilot for? Therefor standards have gone low and we have become too many... and the pool is growing! That's the heart of the problem!
Let's dance with the wolfs !!
