Well good luck to you my friend and I sincerely hope you are able to afford it (as you say you are), and hope you have some kind of contingency plans in place if not. My intention was not to steer the thread away, but it scares me when i start reading abut young people, like yourself, borrowing vast amounts of money to get through training. Some of these flight schools are charging absolutely obscene amounts of money for courses, and unfortunately people are suckered into paying it, under some spell bound marketing illusion theyre going to get some great job at the end of it. I suspect probably only a third or so of each course, probably only the top scorers, get the reccomendations to the airlines. I feel very sorry for the ones who are left that have no job and a mountain of debt hanging over them that could have so easily been avoided.

The best of luck to you anyway though!
