It's not so much the compound interest thing that got me, but more the way that, apparently, when you take a loan with a bank, they take back every penny piece you earn until it's repayed, causing you to live in a cardboard box. I think NA must have been thinking of a loan shark when he came up with the figures...explains the interest figures and the repay every penny.....
Also love the "fact" that to provide an ATPL training course only costs £15000.....Despite a PPL costing what? 5-6 thousand on it's own?
