Not everyone actually wants to be an airline pilot my friend

Having said that the jealousy on these forums towards the various airline cadetships is really quite hysterical

Be an outback drifter for ten years, traveling from one centrelink office to another as you search for that elusive "first job", after obtaining an expensive qualification , that qualifies you for nothing else.

We know that that 95% of those who start a cadetship fly for an airline. I wonder what % of those who fund a CPL make it - I would say 20% tops

The sad thing is the other 80% waste years of their lives pursuing a goal then failing, live their lives as outback "shadowmen"

% might have been a bit better 2003 to 2008 but that period was very much the exception, unlikely to be seen again.

Dream on you GA turboprop dreamer
