I cannot believe the arrogance and ignorance of many repies to this thread. So you think it is right that someone with rich parents, prepared to subsidise a flight training course, is more worthy of an airline career eh?? Why don't you go off and be a barrister or accountant? I think that would suit you better....and consequently let the real talent shine thru!!!!!
P.S I have no axe to grind here, I have a flying job!

I personally don't think that the guy thought what he was posting would cause this type of reply.
Anyway I think that he shouldn't have said it as obviously some people will and have thought he was being arrogant and bragging.
Regardless of how you get your job i'm sure we all can make better use of our time and stop slagging other pilots off due to their good fortune or misfortune.
I respect all of you being any type of pilot as I am, and I think all wannabees should stick together especially at this time.
Just my thoughts on the matter.
NOT INTENDED TO CAUSE ANY TYPE OF OFFENCE.

Moderators, this thread is:
a) nothing to do with aviation whatsoever
b) bringing out the worst in people
c) boring and stupid
Could it please be deleted or moved to Jet Blast.

This thread was not a take on the people who’s mums and dads give them money towards flying training it was a light hearted **** take, I think. It always amazes me how highly stung some people are on this site and how almost every thread ends up in a slagging contest, I am guilty of this too but not when it comes to trivia like this. I had a go at WWW once about being negative about the job prospects in the future but it was constructive and concerned an important issue. People who can’t take a joke tend to be the people that are not really suited to a multi crew flying job. How many people have you met when training that are unsociable can’t hold a conversation and who always appear to do their own thing? How many people have you trained with that are arrogant to the extent that they are rude and are the last person alive you would want to spend time “co-operating with on the flight deck”.
I fall in to the group of people that when training are sociable, easy to chat with, no chip on shoulder, get on well with instructors, students, and ops staff, in other words “communicating well at all levels” I make friends easily and I think people enjoy my company.
Are you like me? Or can’t you take a joke.? Oh and if you had trouble deciding that this thread was a joke then your comprehension of the English language is not that up to speed.
Anyway all meant in a light hearted way no need for damming responses.
Cheers….

Exactly 200V!
Now if anyone is getting shirty, please remember that the UK is tops for Entertainment - go see a stage show, Edmonson and Rik Mayall (spieling!) for a laugh or any of the good shows currently on, and just have a good time. Continue to work at your job, keep the money in the bank earning interest and train when you pick the time.
No need for Grrrrr!
