Smartcol- Thanks.-- as for the rest of you thanks as well for your very NEGATIVE posts. Seems none of you were ever in that situation the way your posts read- insensitive and crude maybe you had some grand daddys to take care and get you where you are today & to those who were so quick to jump and think it was a new wannabe who had posted the topic, U R very wrong. The same goes for the poster Flying for fun- Read the post again before responding in future.
It was seeing, the plight of so many youngsters who are going through the catch 22 that made me think. and put my thoughts on this message board.
The fraternity of pilots unlike other professionals used to be that of helping, guiding, advising, encouraging lot and not throwing a wet rag on them., guess those were the days when we had them and those who are still around have yet to read the post.
Surely if those of you who had no worthwhile contribution to add, your professionalism should have kept your fingers away from the keyboard.
