I agree however they shouldn't limit their focus to just an aviation career. Even you must admit that often the door is closed for a long time and mere persistence will not always pay off. There are only so many spots at the better majors. Most will not make it.
I am coming to the belief that those who are born under a lucky star and do make it to a good major must think to themselves "what is all the whining about? I mean I made it. All you have to do is to call your uncle at FedEx and he will get you an interview. What is the big deal?"
