How many people are looking for full sponsorship?
I'm interested in how many people are aiming for full sponsorship, maybe i'm the stupid one here (quite likely), but isnt it better to look at working for few years trying to build some cash up.
The only reasons I can come up with so far are; lazyness or working in low quality jobs not being good for the Ego.
I at the moment am quite sure that I would be eligable for the loan but I want to work to get qualified to prove to myself whether I really want to do it. I actually have not really looked at the long term plan but have just taken to trying to afford to get ATPL's CPL/IR and MCC then see about training to become a commercial pilot then (because I assume thats when the training starts), I am just assuming the qualification as a licence to learn.
I am at the moment working away 9 months a year on general cargo ships with illegal hours etc, working xmas day.
I am the crazy one, or the guys taking 60,000 out in their name so that they can be qualified to begin training as a pilot.
(Also have noticed a lot of silly questions asked on the groups by people that I think would be better off walking into a flying club and talking to someone for five minutes, or are they too lazy to do that too)
N.B This post is probably only aimed at a minority, but i've been reading the forums for a long time and this had built up on me...
