What a thread!!!
You can feel the loathing and seething hatred here alright!!
I feel obliged to point out (especially to VC10 Rib22) that while of course I know
everyone on PPRUNE carries a soap box around with them and that there is nothing a pilot likes more than the sound of his/her own voice, I feel that my point has been missed.
After a lot of research regarding a future in aviation I had asked a simple question and did not feel the need to justify myself or why I was asking it, however from the heated responses I would just like to say...
I am FULLY aware of the rammifications of using my parents home as security against a training loan, hence
SECURITY I am really sorry people feel like they have to go on about this and the reason I bit is that the forums are swollen with the exact same responses!! Don't do it man!! Go off and earn it yourself!! Don't involve your family!!! I have read the same things countless times and don't need reminding!! As i also said before, I don't really want to involve them , but I have little choice at this point in time. I cannot afford to do it without help.
I understand and appreciate all your comments, but your responses are totally off topic!!
All I am looking for is information so I can discuss this with my parents. I want to be able to sit down and discuss it with them properly knowing all of the facts. At no point did I even
imply that I was going to feed them with bull!!!! or lie to them (interesting how SOME people jumped to that conclusion with their hatred soap box rants, makes one wonder where their advice experience comes from!!) I just want to be able to sit and ask them, given all the information if they would be in a position to help me or not. Surely thats fair enough??? If they cannot help me, for whatever reason, then thats fine. At least I know I have to knuckle down and try to turn 10 years of saving in to as small a period as possible.
I like some others who have posted on these forums want to achieve my dream, but like I hinted, everyone has a shelf life. At the moment there is a recruitment drive going on, how long is this going to last? I don't want pride getting in the way and me missing the boat!
I pose the question again, if anyone has asked there parents to act as guarantors against their training loan, how exactly was this accomplished?
Thanks
