Of course the whole ordeal cost a small fortune
The basic flight training £60,000 (a litte more than your average because I wanted to do my multi IFR in a C340 odd I know but It just looked so much cooler than the BE76 they had on offer
£6,000 for my rating + £2,000 for extra training and re-test
£47,000 for line traing
Plus I would say around £10,000 for retaking of exams, extra sims etc
All paid for by my millionaire parents
Perhaps because the money came so easy I felt like I didn't need to work hard I don't know, I worked hard sometimes but I found all the books very boarding and sometimes found myself just booking an exam hoping to fluke it of the 14 exams I managed to pass 1 without even looking at the book, the exams I did pass I rarely got more than th minimum marks required.
Despite being a lazy sod with the theory my flying skills are very good, and even in the sim get complimented on X wind landings etc.
I am from a generation where we want everything now and don't want to work hard for it.
I read people saying your a troll your a joker, but I PROMISE you this is a true story, this is real it happened.
I'm sure I'm not the only one
