Re: paying for flying training
I paid for my training too and am also very proud of the fact. In fact, I was asked at my Ansett interview how I financed my training and the fact that I paid for it myself appeared to be a tick in the box. I work on the principal that if you want something bad enough, you'll get it. My parents weren't in a postion to pay so I worked during the school holidays and had a couple of lousy jobs when I left school. I even sold my bike and a couple of musical instruments that I had. I don't agree with the comment "most aspiring young pilots do not have the means to pay for training". What's the matter with getting off your bum and getting a job to finance your training?
