it's a bit too late now!
thx UAU242,
too late to adopt your advice as I'm already a CPL holder but could not afford anymore with the CIR due to mounting debts as I did a degree in Avaition as well!
that's why I'm relying a lot on the cadetship scheme. Hope my chances are high in getting through the next intake. I guess there are a lot of self sponsored Mauritian pilots who also want to get in.
cheers
