[official] Why SWAFO was banned

[xvxmatthewxvx]

I got the idea from "Brad" by reading his posts that math is not needed at all to be a airline pilot.
I even researched myself at a REAL "Ask a pilot" place and found that that solid basic math skills
are very important. Aswell as most airlines like a degree of some sort. Physics being one. Its not
necessary though, but it certainly helps! He told me thats not true. He doesn't care at all about
anyone but himself. I took his advice seriously and I have poor math skills and just decided
"thats not important" because of his advice. He doesn't seem to mind at all giving career advice he
knows little about to people possibly planning their future.

So samiranks and others who are going to pilot school or aspiring to be a real world ATP. Ignore all his
advice. I certainly have!

Infact as I mentioned before, I am leaving for China on the 15th of January to be a english teacher. But this
isn't my goal to be an english teacher. In countries like China private aviation is almost non-existant. So
in countries like that they often have "Cadet Schools" you can apply to and they will train you all the way up
and give you a job as FO to begin with. Although this takes years of all day study and flying.
I plan on applying to diffrent airlines there that have their own "cadet schools" as I will likely stand above
others because of my english ability which is extremely poor there and almost nobody with any sort of
basic pilot training. And if I am not accepted training is about 1/5 as expensive there and just as valid as anywhere else!
Anyways I got off topic, but any of you who listened to Brad and are regretting signing up
for pilot lessons, etc. One selfish guy hasn't changed your dream and don't let it! Keep going! I certainly will!
