GWidgery,
Not true....
Each airline has their own way of sorting out the loan repayment once they offer you a full time contract.
Yes the airlines will pay you a salary but if they are going to pay you the £1,000 a month to repay the loan, your salary will normally be £12,000 less a year than the eqivilant normal cadet entry salary.
Be under no illusions that you get a normal salary AND £1000 a month to repay the loan!
