I have worked for 5 years solid to save 90 grand, dollar for every stinking dollar! That is commitment.
I, fortunately, don't need to use HECS and pisses
me off to hear others who simply hit the bank up for the money, complaining about those able to access HECS for their training and labeling them as uncommitted!!! In my opinion, if you can't
save the money, you are no more deserving than those you gripe about!!!
Getting a regular loan through a bank is no different to using HECS!!! Doesn't make you more committed or worthy of a job!!! Getting the job will always come down to performance and attitude and not necessarily in that order. Regardless of the fact that I have saved all required funds to see myself through to ATPL, DOES NOT entitle me to a job over someone who uses a bank loan or HECS!!!
I agree that there needs to be screening for this scheme to be successful. But for those that put themselves on a pedestal because they are using a bank loan and not a government loan, chill out your attitude is ass about and my guess is you'd find it hard to get past the interview stage!!!
