Your son deserves a stimulating and fulfilling career in flying with as many happy memories as you have.
As do we all.
I just can't help thinking that recently, we've all been scammed.
Your son can look to you for inspiration and advice, but spare a thought for those who are out of work and don't have any useful contacts, I hear from the new FOs I fly with that there are a fair number of recent FATPLs who haven't found a position yet, even after a year of looking.
Some training companies guarantee a job for you at the end of the course, but don't tell you what the job is until the last minute and you still have to pay to have the type put on your licence and it may be a single pilot position in the boonies (Africa) and if you turn it down, there goes your "guarantee".
It sounds exciting, but it's not for everyone.
