Very true, and again very true.
Maybe my support is somewhat biased.

I'm sure someone stuck at some airport, like up in the cold north of Scotland for instance, where they hoped they wouldn't go, would not share my view. But that's the deal we all signed up for I suppose.

After spending more than £40K on getting an APS and ADI student rating (and still without a job in ATC) I'd have loved the opportunity for someone else to pay for my training and be bonded for only 3 years!!
