Are more or less people training to fly now?

[Shiver me timbers!]

Exactly. Put yourself in another £20000 debt before starting. That way you can use your geography degree to find the photocopier in your temp. job while you wait for your first airline position...

I've just graduated with £12k debt - I really don't know how I'm going to afford the £22/month repayment minimum. Oh no

I'm just relieved that my photocopier job will enable me to fund my modular training.
