What a genius! The world almost went bankrupt in 2008 and he starts training for a job in an industry that traditionally is one of the first casualties in an economic downturn and one of the last ones to recover during an economic upswing, only one year later! But hey, he got an average of 99,3% for the ATPL theory and has all kinds of cool graphs about "being immune to stress" and "knowledge building" on his resume.
I wonder how the graph looks for the common sense part.... Oh wait, I guess that's not part of any high school education, flight school selection process or pilot training anymore...
Yeah go ahead and flame away for me being "negative," "cynical" and "sarcastic." I call it being realistic, a.k.a. situational awareness!
But there never has been a "good time" to start training, certainly wasn't on my home turf when I started 36 years ago, but I got hired 5 years later...
