Torque Tonight - I mean there seems to be some issue here for people to read, this is intended as some warning to people who are considering trying to get into the industry at a later stage.

First is not easy, the odds are against you, and for these people - who might have had a very good career previously, to be able to afford to get into flight training, would have needed to something else than stack shelves at Tesco's it might not be what they expect out of life quality!

It's funny, because a lot of the things I have written about, is a combination of my experience, and experienced pilots I have met during this process!

And of course I felt the buzz, and still feel the buzz when thrust is set, and of we go!
The thread is exactly for that, to warn and make people re-consider before they splash out thousands in flight training! Of course most will not listen anyway!

I do not have any regrets, but the facts are what they are!
