Hello again Charlie Alpha,
Yep it isn't much fun getting binned but thats the way it is sometimes - a mate of mine got the old PFO after the sim ride! Harsh indeed. Its all part of the game though, if all wannabes gave up after one rejection there would be very few pilots about.
As for me yes I am going to self sponsor. I'm currently trying to finish off the PPL ( weather permitting
) and then a full time job and a hefty loan to get the required funds together!
All the best with your plans
