Big daddy wants the boy to be a pilot, and he will be a pilot, at any cost!
No problem, if he sleeps most of the time - at least he cannot make any mistakes - picking up the mobile during takeoff, no problem, we are the new rich generation, airbus is building planes almost fully automated, so what to be concerned about?
This is not general for all the newcomers, some of them are bright and brilliant, but some are just sandbags at daddy's costs. Sadly they don't even realize it!
