Light blue touch paper and retire
What might surprise some people is the fact that cabin crew can often be better academically qualified than the drivers up front.
What impact would there be on the pass rate of the ground exams etc if the entry level qualifications for an ATPL, & the UK airlines, required graduates with honours only.
This would not apply to qualified military pilots who have already gone through a selection process, and proved themselves to be competent.
This is one of a few professions where training can commence without the appropriate selection process - can Doctors, Lawyers etc choose themselves?
Throwing money at it is not always the best solution.
The "wastage" rate is probably considerable, not to mention the resulting debt it can generate for those who fall by the wayside.
Think long and hard before you invest in yourself.
