times never change, i wanna be a pilot, i wanna be a terboproppilot, i wanna be a jet pilot etc etc. all along the way there have always been t*****s there to releve the tyro from his cash. CTC may be expensive, but at least the people who get thru do get jobs. Unlike many of us, myself included, who have been taken in by false promises and ended up with no job and a whole in the wallet. We all get there in the end. If you want the 'easy' route get in the RAF, do your time, survive, then the worlds your training cost free oyster!!
