I had a young lad jumpseating a few nights ago positioning to do his initial line training. I asked where he was going to be staying, expecting one of the airport hotels, and he announced that he had his car in a layby on a lane near the airport and would be sleeping on the back seat for the next month or so. He seemed quite proud to tell us, as if we would be dazzled by his ingenuity. Poor little waif clearly could even afford a razor.
Out of all flight school graduates, this guy and his like, are near the top end of the success spectrum. You won't get a lot of fATPLs here on pprune bragging about how they're stacking shelves in the supermarket or collecting their dole every fortnight.
