Is Cabair worth it?

[gaz88]

Hi there everyone, I am new to this site so please excuse me if I am going over something that has been covered in detail elsewhere. Basically I have been sivving through the threads on this website and I can't really find any truely clear answers.

Okay, here goes. I am 19 years old and ever since I can remember I have wanted to be a professional airline pilot, and I'm sure most of you guys know how it feels. I am currently in an apprenticeship, training to be an aircraft engineer. I will be finished my apprenticeship within a years time and I definatly want to train for an FATPL afterwards. However the massive worry that I have is that I have a 2 year old son and persuing such a dream, as I'm sure you are all aware, isn't cheap. Obviously i still want to be able to support my son, and having no money for over a year will be very hard. My partner is willing to support me through the training of the license, however she doesn't really want to move away from home. Therefore I have been looking at Cabair as this is just down the road from me and I would be able to drive there and back home everyday.

There have been so many different views of cabair that i have read and it seems to me that the chances of getting a career with an airline after training are very slim. I have already been for a seminar at cabair, and obviously they told us what we wanted to hear, that we would almost certainly get a job within a few months of finishing. So basically I would be very interested to hear from anybody who is currently at cabair, and also anybody who has finished at cabair, and how they got on with finding a job at the end.

There is so much to think about at the mo and it is so , lol.

Thanks alot for any replys and any advice from anybody on the forum will be greatly appreciated. cheers
