yeah, I know that
There is no option available for every aspiring aviator. The article on this thread clearly stated that 500 people applied for this opportunity and only one got it.
My comment is just a reminder that the United States offers opportunities for most anyone to do anything they want if they are willing to put forth the effort. Much more opportunity than any where else on earth.
I have been blessed with opportunities presenting themselves both military and civilian and have put forth the effort. I came from very humble beginnings.
Again, to say that opportunities for pilots aren't offered in the U.S. is just plain silly. The flight schools, and there are hundreds, are full of aspiring aviators from the U.S. and dozens of other countries.
Cheer up and Cheers!
