Ace
There is a phrase i've heard used in Ireland which is F**K the Begrudgers.
If you want to do it then DO IT....but carefully. Investigate the pros and the cons the good and the bad of this company and programme then make your OWN decision with some advice from good friends and family or partner because they will all be involved to some degree.
I myself considered this programme and like yourself i would have to have mortgaged everything on top of the £50,000+ odd that has already been spent......Why? Well because i want to fly and would do anything to be in the position of some of these begrudgers to make my own mind up as to whether or not it was worth it.
But also, take note of those who are preaching about waiting as i did (6 years) and now have a job. But at the end of the day it's about your patience versus the waiting gamble.
As for those who simply couldn't give someone who's trying to get started a reasonable answer then please answer this.
If you are a captain would you have treated a member of cabin crew or your F/O like this when they asked your advice and if so do you deserve those four stripes.
If you are an F/O then will you ever earn them if thats the way you treat people when they need help and wise guidance.
Good luck ACE and may the good side of the force be with you.
