When they made the decision to get themselves into so much debt that they couldnt afford repayments on a GA job or any other jobs salary, they gave the go ahead to the airlines to say "how badly do you want this job, what will you do to get it" and subsequently, we are watching terms and conditions in all airlines fall rapidly. That boy or girl will never get paid what they are worth as long as they have their soul subject to a mortgage! I hope that hypothetical boy or girl gets a break soon!
I dont know of any other way to get an ATPL/CPL than to go to a training organisation and they all charge at least 50'000 euro's for all the training up to ATPL with 250 hours and commercial certificate. What other way is there?
