Scroggs:
I see where you are comming from, your thoughts are pretty much the same as mine.
The loan on my car was of course no where near the 60k mark but I would not have to spend 60k on my training. I have no intention of going integrated, modular is the only way for me.
As I have said I would not have to pay anything for my groundschool as that can be done on resettlement and with ELC's. I would be able to sell the car and complete the rest of my training on a 15k loan. I have done my sums and it works out. Im looking to get an instructors rating too, as this is something I want to do, not just to build hours, but to do it as it is something I would love to do. Something that a lot of integrated guys miss out on. As I said earlier im not desprate to fly shiney jets, Id be more than happy on a regional turboprop. Of course if in a few years something came up then I would of course go for it. Its only natural, plus its career progression.
The way Im looking at doing it is just to get a job on leaving the air force to cover my loan payments and life expenses as you say.
What do you think?
Many thanks
