Ladies & Gentlemen
I do think you may have been set up by 330. If this thread IS the result of a seriously intentioned enquiry, then it is the clearest indication yet of the major problem currently affecting pilot recruitment, namely that of self selection for training. Whilst many of those self sponsoring for a career in civil aviation are competent and utimately technically qualified there are sadly many who never were, and never will be suitable as professional flightcrew. For them the struggle and the ensuing debt could have been prevented and saved by the timely advice that this is not the career for them. All flying schools are run as businesses - they want your money. You may have the technical ability and ambition - that is NOT enough; you must be able to potentially fit into the system and satisfy the interview board of any operator to which you apply. Find out BEFORE you spend the money, not when you hold a fATPL.
PS You also need to be literate.
