Quote: “BALHR, you have written several thousand words today on pprune alone. However you are making a fool of yourself. I am being blunt. You are monopolising several threads with page after page of your ideas, of which most are commercially non starters. You need to read what people are saying to you and understand, rather than just arguing. This isn't a debating society. It's about news of routes and happenings."

Two other possibilities (preferably starting with A-level British Constitution followed by a degree in political science):
(1) a job with a "think tank", then doing research for a political party, then working for an MP of that party, then get elected to Parliament, then up the ministerial greasy pole to aviation minister.
(2) join the civil service from university up the greasy pole in the aviation ministry and making key decisions having no hands-on experience of the industry.
