The biggest obstacle for most between stopping there and attending civilian flight school is MONEY. Yes, flight training is difficult and challenging, but lets not kid ourselves...it is NOT law school, or med school. The majority of the people you are looking down on, provided the resources you had, would have no trouble going to flight school and getting to the exact position you are in now.
I'm fairly certain I'm not looking down on anyone. I'm making no judgment on the strike or the people that are striking. Only to say where there is a will there is a way. Apperently you had all your resources handed to you, not everyone in this industry did.
