It makes sense when you compare with direct entry salary.. are you on the modular training route too?
I'm not modular yet though I have a PPL. I've been wanting airlines to fund ab initial training for the past decade whilst I've been saving up so the modular route is an option. I'm in a position now where modular is just about affordable without debt but I do wonder if some airlines, given their target audience, might say "sorry Chris but you've worked too hard and earned too much over the past decade, these programmes are for people who can't afford training". That's be a bit ironic to say the least.
The big advantage with fully funded cadet programmes is that the airlines have some serious skin in the game and you've got a conditional job offer right at the start of the process. You don't have to spend £60k then go job hunting.
