Smith - It is my understanding that Not Orange is talking about his brother-in-law being a consultant, which I assume to mean in the medical industry.
Supergimp - It sounds like you have had a skin full of being told about the errosion to starting conditions caused by SSTRs, etc... and this is affecting your judgement. If anything, trudging the now common path of SSTR straight after Integrated course is anything but using "their initiative and brains to get into such a competitive industry." [post 39] And unlike you state in your previous post [post 37] it isn't that much work to get a bank to lend you money. It's one of the many ways banks turn a very healthy profit. This is herd mentality and it has changed the face of the industry for low houred pilots. Brat, on the other hand, does seem to have gone against the grain [post 52], been creative, saved money compared to the SSTR brigade and succeeded. That is more inspiring. Perhaps he might have sour grapes about the 25K you have been able to spend on the SSTR? No? OK, maybe not...
