I have done my training without any exemption from VAT or loan help from my government. VAT in Scandinavian is generally around 22-25%, so flight training in this perspective would be more expensive here. I don't know where your information, but it’s not correct. It is a bit sad to read these posts about people ranting about foreigners in the UK. They probably are a minority. The real issue is that there are too many inexperienced pilot on the market. This is due to flight schools’ aggressive and good marketing. But anyway, good luck to all in job hunting. I landed my first job as a turboprop F/O recently (in Scandinavia).
