I reckon in life you got to appreciate what you have sometimes, money coming in at least and a fall back position. Many guys applying will maybe not have that.
We would only be short of cash for 19 months. After that it’s 4 years of 33k ish. After that you will be on good money (assuming). You will be flying for a living. Sounds good to me!
Good to see someone else is in a similar position to me! Quite reassuring reading this.
I also applied for the TUI Cadet Programme - but am still yet to hear back. Fingers crossed! Good luck all.
