jkl,
Thanks for your response. I am well aware of the barren financial period that awaits if I get through the course. Though this is nothing I am not used to having worked as an FI for the last 18 months.

Fortunately my wife is suitably well employed and able to support us.
jonesthepilot,
No this is not a scheme that selects pilots on the size of their wallets. If so I would never have been accepted on it. Your comment rings of bitter rejection me thinks. If you really don't have anything use full to say then I suggest you go back to the valley you crawled out from.
