acroid,
CC is right, its been covered many times before.
Im in the same situation to you, but all Id say is that dont write off the self sponsered route. I thought the same "Im never going to be able to afford £35K for a ATPL" to begin with but after I then started to learn about the different financing options. Banks such as HSBC offer career development loans to fund your training. Another option is to get a decently payed temporary job and save like hell, even if you only get half the cost of an ATPL its a start and reduces how much debt your going to be in once youve finished training. Obviously in an ideal world we all want a sponsership but they are few and far between and only a few cadets are taken on at a time, not that Im doubting you in any way its just that its always better to have more than one route to get you into the RHS.
Also, read everything in the wannabe's section of Pprune, its VERY helpful
All the best.
