A little patronising LRT,
Ten years to get 1300 hours and then at last a job. House sold (they don't raise much in Liverpool), pro camera gear flogged off and one of the first Career Development Loans - everyone, I mean
everyone goes through it.
It so happens that the trio building PPruNe from scratch were all self improvers who sold up to finance their licences. Two of three did much of their flying in the States.
All the jets whizzing overhead are driven by similar people who gave up a lot to get there. The only difference is they did it before you.
One of the problems we have getting assistance, sponsorship and quality mentors for wannabee projects is a poor attitude that often comes across. Rightly or wrongly many of you
appear to be self centred, immature and unwilling to put anything back for those following in your footsteps.
Before the howls of denial are typed into submission boxes I trust you will compare and contrast the threads regarding the numbers fighting to get listed for the wannabee seminars versus those who've actually fished a tenner out their pockets.
Ten pounds to spend the day with professionals who do the job for real, been through the entire system and don't have a thing to sell you. They're just putting something back.
