Learning to Fly
Hi Guys/Gals,
I'm currently learning to fly in brisbane, queensland at one of the flying schools there. However i feel as if my career as a pilot is at the crossroads. I'm a Young Female, and i feel like the instructors just aren't taking me seriously. Which is silly i know, but they never really answer my questions. Usually they are busy perving on me or calling me sweetie etc. I just don't think that i'm learning anymore, and i've always wanted to be a pilot, but currently i feel that my age, sex and physical appearance is a hinderance and that noone will take me seriously. Like i said, my questions never get answered properly, and when they do they are usually staring at something else (if you get what i mean). I really want to do this properly and be taken seriously (they don't take me seriously because i'm a girl and blonde). Like i mentioned i've always wanted to be a comercial jet liner pilot but at the moment that dream feels unreachable because of the current flight school i am in.
So, with that in mind, i was wondering if anyone here could either provide some advice as to what i do, i.e do i try to stick it out or change flying schools? Is there any recourse i have against the current flight school, because i've spent alot of hard earned money on those lessons and have very little to show. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
