Here, here. I see quite a few older men leaving their jobs and moving across the country to attend my flight school with childlike aspirations of a career in aviation, because it's "always been their dream." Really? What about providing for the wife and kids? Continuing to be a part of their lives like they've become accustomed to? Not a dream of theirs?
It ****es me off...I wish they'd be turned away.
