I fear your time may have been wasted, Prince may have put words into action and gone 
.
Well we'll see, it would be a shame after he's gone through the standard PPRuNe 'search before post' flaming for him to miss out on those great posts (particularly Cutoff and Slackjack).
Come back Prince, we're sorry!

Hi Cutoff,
Really worth to read your post. Infact i think as far as PRINCE is concerned, i guess he is simply lucky enough to have all the boaders provide with their share of experiences which will surely help.
Good Luck to you all and PRINCE.
Peace.
BTW im just about to get started with my medicals......STEP 1

Whether he comes back to PPRuNe or not, we all told it how it was...end of! He asked the question, we told him what to do...
POTS was frighteningly misinformed or just really didn't do what we all had to do...or should do if you we're about to spend £45,000 (and probably the rest now...)
If he want's to throw his toy's out the pram because we all said "Whooaa, you need to put some more work in there..." so be it...how's POTS going to react when he's told you need 5 more hours to consolidate during his IR...or fails all phase 1...I know many, myself included, who sweated blood to get where I am, and why people think they can become a pilot because "it sounds a good job" is unreal...
POTS said it was the "Start of his Dream" I beg to differ, if it was, he would not be asking the questions he was...
Harsh, I know...ready...aim...fire...

Well JB007 you seem to know everything, so why not barr everybody else on this forum and just talk to yourself. It certainly is my dream and will get there no matter what you or anybody else says. Im not throwing my toys out of the pram at all. I just cant see the point in moaning about people asking the question you have heard a thousand times. ITS AN AVIATION FORUM, OF COURSE PEOPLE ARE GOING TO ASK THEM QUESTIONS!!!! Go and search for teh answers to the questions i initially asked and you will see it isnt as clear and easy to find.
Also, i was told of this forum by somebody, and was told to ask questions as you are all a friendly bunch. How wrong was that!!!
I have had 6 PM's now saying "ignore JB007 and other people on here who are so bitter and twisted that they cant be positive about stuff"
Oh and where did i say "i want to be a pilot because i think its a good job"???? , you may fail your next medical as you obviously cant see properly!
So , enjoy what you do, keep up the negative attitude because quite frankly i couldnt give a damn what you or anybody else thinks.
Bye

What harm can come out of knowing what your about to spend alot of money on? There have been several hypothetical situations on this thread now, relating to purchasing goods of high prices, how about you take some into account?
Do the research, then you know what your getting yourself into, I think that's the primary point here. (note, nobody has actually said you cannot acheive your dream, just that your taking a potentially insecure approach to it)
Just my opinion (however worthless it may seem)
Good luck Prince
Put

Oh Prince prince prince...
You need to look at the so-called "negativity" more constructively! Kind of a contradiction of yourself eh!??
The folk on here are not saying what they are for the sake of being mean!? If they wanted to do that they would apply for the Apprentice or Big Bro!
The best thing you can do here is look at the big picture of what everyone has said and advised you. Don't get so hacked off. I'd say the message you could take away with you right now from this thread is YES of course your dream is achievable, but it’s down to you and you need to wise up (as well as toughen up!).

Put1992, you'll have really upset him now! Not only have you come on here and spoken sense, but your spelling and punctuation is much better than his as well! All this, from someone half his age!

Fight, fight, fight!
Sorry guys but this is all a bit ridiculous, so I thought I would throw into the mix.
Members on PPRuNE are split into groups, majority of which being very helpful, some being 'tell it like it is/hard but fair', and some that like to 'have a go'.
I'd say that's a fair cross section of society, and if POTS refuses to enter a forum and accept that, then what can we do???

I have read some good advice and some very kind offers being given in this thread. Why this chap chooses to ignore them and simply focus on his perception of "negativity" I cannot imagine. There are people who are in a similar situation to himself, others who have achieved some of what he seeks and those at the very top end of their careers. As he made some observations and asked the questions, you would think that he could self discriminate and choose what advice he wants to take on board.
Research and investigation is a vital tool unless you are happy to be parted from your cash or unless you are extraordinarily lucky. Most of the people I have seen who do very well in this industry have an intrinsic ability to sort out the wheat from the chaff, and to take onboard criticism and comment from various sources without having a public tantrum.
Frankly I don't care how many people "PM" you to complain about who is bitter and twisted. I don't care about your dream and I don't care who is friendly. This is a difficult and expensive career choice. It is one that is full of pitfalls and expensive penalities. It has a very high attrition rate. It requires serious candidates to display a high level of determination, common sense, application, ability and maturity. If you don't believe me just spend a bit more time looking through the threads and you will see what I mean.
People do succeed, and those that do well normally have most of the attributes I have already mentioned. If you are looking for a mutual support group, or people who will blow smoke up your backside then contact the "PM" ers. If you want serious advice then discriminate the answers to your questions. There is good advice available. If you want to leave because the responses are not pink and fluffy enough then go.

POTS - Your back!! I'm actually beginning to think you're alot younger than 30!?!
Never claimed to know everything POTS me old, I just know alot more than you because i've been there/done it! Just like hundreds of others on this forum who have succeeded because of hard work and living on digestive biscuits and are now line pilots for awesome UK airlines and loving what they do...far from bitter and twisted POTS! But I will make a note to smile about that when i'm getting paid to be on the beach in Mexico this weekend!!!
This is a fine line between good debate and doing what PPRuNe sometimes has the habit of descending into but...you asked the questions mate, we told you! It was harshly written because, as the post is called, it was Day One of your training and you are about to spend an horrific amount of money...and quite honestly, you ain't got a clue, and you still don't get it!!!
Well, good luck to you, I hope you do succeed because it's the best job in the world but a personal observation; your attitude doesn't really seem to be that of a Professional Pilot, you've snapped and been aggressive at most of the replies you've received but hey, i've never met you...sadly, I think you're in for a big shock and you'll have spent a fortune before you do get wise to it!
