Revisit Finance Questions

Phew, read all 38 pages and still have an unanswered question!

With regard to finances, what is the position of those that have just left Uni? The idea of a student loan to pay off, and then chuck a 65k+ debt on top of that sounds a tad concerning! Should be possible, and hasn't put me off applying.

On a more selection related topic, how do they view experience that has been gained on Flight Sims? While it can make you look like a computer , and is in some respects very different from life, the modern versions are in fact scarily true-to-life, and I am wondering if that is something worth mentioning? Having started flying online (VATSIM for those that are familiar) where everything is as close to life as possible, and as such I have taught myself radio procedures, navigation, ATC procedures (with live controllers) and advanced flight planning. I am sure most people will have done this at some point, but do you advise mentioning it in an application?

Cheers, and what a helpful (if repetative) thread!
