Re: paying back the debt
Hello type,
Well i was one of the lucky persons who didn't have to get a loan when starting the atpl course. However i'm graduated 10 months ago and to stay current i spend about 50% of my salary in flying. A lot of people are saying that i'm i a good position but i don't feel it like that. I think the most difficult situation is the situation after graduation especially when you don't find a flying job. You have to still invest to stay current but what sometimes really bothers me, is the fact you don't have enough money for doing others things. If i see friends and collaegues going for a holiday or buying a new car, yes i'm a little bit jealous. And yes my social life is crap at the moment because it is difficult to do other things, all for the sake of flying!!!
So i hope this may be a little story to think about.
Good luck
