Make sure you introduce him to FI so he waste away in a hotel room or crash pad while hes not doing what he loves.

can't do that, he will waste too much time here and not study

He's almost right. This IS an easy job for modestly intelligent/capable people to do. It's not all that demanding and it's not a hard job to be really good at.

This thinking is why pilot pay will continue to be shi#t!!! This is not an easy job...you have multiple times year where you put your job at risk. You sacrifice time at home with family...and get paid crap for it!! You fly a damn jet and are responsible for every person on that airplane. You are responsible for a multi million dollar piece of equipment. And no not everyone can do it that is moderately intelligent...my airline isually washes out about 10% in training...and these are guys with previous experience!!

Ummm... yeah a 90% pass rate is not indicative of a difficult training program.
