Someone has to do it after all however I do not believe that they are representative of the majority who are in or are considering aviation as a career.
I believe that my position is firmly in the middle of the majority. As such we need to be able to earn a good living, enjoy a stable career where we are valued, and want to be home with our friends and families. The majority who are considering this profession need to fully understand what it is that they are getting themselves into and my aim is to serve those ends.
You can take the outliers who don't mind living alone in a studio apartment under unstable working conditions because they get to fly a plane.

Once again Sky - can you acept that maybe, just maybe, everyone doesn't see the world through the same set of glasses as you?
No....you can't.
It is MY belief that many people can find happiness in aviation without having to work for ONE certain airline, in ONE certain geographical region, and make above a certain wage (set by your expectations) and may actually enjoy travel.
APC has a concentration of all types of pilots - successful and UNsuccessful.
I gave you two opportunities to influence two wanna-be pilots - fresh into the 'I'll do anything to be a pilot' mentality and you hardly gave them the time of day. Mssed opportunities for you to work your magic in my opinion.
