What are you laying to death? The fact that you apply to ab initio schemes as they are advertised?
Thats not really much to 'give up' is it? And if you've been at it for 8 years then surely soon you'll be too old for the age criteria anyway..
Have you actually done a PPL or anything along those lines?
At the moment things really are starting to pick up. I would advise anyone who has sunk any serious time or money into becoming a pilot to stick with it right now.
Perhaps though you do not fit into that category.
Full ab intio schemes really are a dream and as such I don't have a great deal of tears to shed for those who never get one. I didn't, most people didn't yet many of still made it without rich parents.
