I've always been told by my father that you always get what you deserves.
I struggled like many others, it took me 10 years to set my foot in the door, but finally did it...the last step was to grab a blue licence by converting my ICAO one.
Got my fATPL fresh from the CAA printer last October, got my first interview in December, and signed my first contract last Friday.
I never got in debt for a TR...but followed the "hard way" to build up my logbook.
A320, the best advice I can give you is to move your *** from your PC and do a bit of networking.
Best of luck mate
