Well, I gave up! I have nothing more to add. I think I chose the hardest, most expensive ground based job there is. I mean, even basic training is like £5000. Naa... Instead, I am going to do something else ground based, but how would you say...cheaper! No jokes about cleaning the toilets please! Instead, I shall investigate something in flight engineering, fire & rescue, admin or flight strips. Shame, but I am not beat.
