I recently joined and managed to get a loan quite easily despite a massive mortgage and some money on cards. I escaped from a shi**y airline that was well on its way to ruining my health.
It's a short term sacrifice guys. Not ideal but in the end we're talking about 3k worth of interest to get another valuable type on your license. 3k to make yourself more marketable and employable and in many cases still cheaper than some people's smoking and boozing habits.
Fast forward 3 years you have your money back. Let's not kid ourselves, the number of non TR jobs in Europe for FOs are limited. We're I want to live and be based it's only BA that even offers such a thing.
I get what works for some doesn't work for others but you have to respect that some people's choices are governed by what they view as long term gains.
All the best
