Yh i agree with whirlygig I was considering OAT or Cabair but its just too expensive here. HSBC are providing the loans but only after you get accepted by the flying schools. If i remember correctly its 2.5%above the base rate or summin. I thought and thought about it but I dont want to be paying back for the next 10 years of my life. But in your circumstance get the applications through, go for the aptitude tests, get accepted then get the loan yourself and if you dont get a job immediately beg your old man to start paying back the loan till you can get a job. It works out cheaper for him and you've got something to motivate you. But to answer your question
HSBC are still providing the loan.
