no probs loan
HSBC see pilots in the same grade as a medical student and are prepared to lend up to 75K... Yes you need to pay back at some point.
I can only tell you of my situation to give an idea, I found a job with the Government as the Government employers are prepared to allow staff ( in fact its a staff right ) to take a sabatical. This ment I worked for the H.M.Prison Service for a while then took my right to an unpaid career break of upto 5 years (lucky me) during this time i could do alterative studies i.e ATPL.
With a garenteed job to go back to the bank said how much!! 2.5 years later they are getting worried I borrowed 60k including living expences.
yes its worth it, use the Government
