Sorry to hear about your twarted dream Wily but I'm also a little surprised. Not only is flying leisure activity for me (and main consumer of disposable income) but I also work in the industry (ok journo scum etc etc) and one of the the attractions (both work wise and in free time) I've found is the people that you meet.
Of course there are ar**holes in all walks of life but there seem to be fewer in aviation..maybe if you tried another club or training establishment you'd see things differently...cash aside it may re-kindle your enthusiasum?
