Well I do have a fallback plan in place for when I finally get the cash together and take the plunge to do my training. Being an LGV driver means that I can work once I've completed training and start to service some of the debt I've managed to rack up.
For any wannabes who are thinking about what to do if the phone call doesn't come the moment you qualify then perhaps look at taking at least your class 2 (Category C) licence. It might not pay as much as flying but most agencies will pay you between £8 - £10 per hour... Just a thought.
