I’m currently finishing a course with my job that will lead me into a low-paid traineeship year with my current company in order to build the logged hours of experience I need as a commercial pilot.
The traineeship is good that it gives you this (despite the pay) but my problem is in how I am with the company. I have had enough of the tense, aggressive environment and I’m sick of the abusive instructors who think breaking you down is the only way. I don’t want to have to deal with that tension every day for another year. I have a job option about 120km away in another town – I want to go there to work as it’s a better place but my Dad thinks I should stay for the traineeship. I’m 19, nearly 20 and at home. I don’t want him to think I’m moving to this other place for my girlfriend who happens to be there – I’m moving for the work. (Originally I was going to move even further – regardless of her). What should I do/say to him in particular, to let him see how I feel, what I want…?
