Hi Chief Brody,
What if the world economy goes into the ****house during / just after training?
What if you had two or three recommendations before you trained but didn't mean anything afterwards because those companies haven't recruited since (or went bust).
I'm genuinely glad it all worked out for you. However it's probably a little naive to suggest that eveyone's problems could have all been sorted by following a couple of rules.
If flybe stopped recruitment UFN during your training, what would a promise of a recommendation been worth?
Would you have taken your own advice and been a happy PPL for ever?
I will not P2F. However, I think it's a lot more complicated than you make out.
