mickey that's exactly the types which the rest of us are seeing so many of outside the shiny world of jets.

There are hundreds of them if not thousands. None of them have a practical first career to survive on.

It doesn't take you to meet many of them until you have met millions worth of training which is completely useless and more than likely will never be used.

I met one lad recently who had on top off his training a A320 rating and a 737 rating and 500 hours P2F and was now an FI to build hours.

I was gob smacked I was looking at a quarter of million euros worth of training and he was unemployable, TP operators won't touch him because he would be off to jets in a flash with a sniff of a job came up. And he couldn't get near the jets because everyone is taking cadets. He was spouting some pish as well that his latest plan was to get a biz jet rating.
