Hi,
Well I did go to the Poole head office and speak to a very high up business specialist (through contacts at my current work). Still a big fat no.
However I did do a comprehensive section in my business plan which covered "How would I pay you back if I couldn't get a flying job". I nailed that part with, I'm currently an Accountant and can earn 'X', even produced a copy of the latest Hays Finance and Accounting Salary guide proving as much.
After speaking with parents I'm now looking at borrowing £50k SECURED! So no way I can mess it up! Not that I intended to anyway, but you catch my drift.
One big headache!!!
