P.S. I am so sick of nepotism it isn't funny.
Mate, it's hard not to be bitter.
You may run in to the guys and girls who are successful and you'll wonder how the hell they got in, that's life.
I went down the GA road and now looking at the majors after 3 years, my mates went cadetships and are upset they'll never get to do the flying I done, to each their own.
As for nepotism, this industry is full of it, and if my old man was in an airline or owned/worked in GA, of course I'd be using him for a foot in the door, unfortunately for me he's an electrician who's terrified of flying!
