Live with a flat mate first year and do as much OT as you can. The money will come in the 2nd and 3rd years.
Thanks, that's pretty much what I thought too. This is all way out anyway, I haven't even finished my CPL yet (nearly though!). The plan is to head somewhere rural to grind out my hours then get apps in in at all the US regionals as soon as I hit 1500.
