I know of a few of these so-called "dickheads" who recieved funding from the government. Many are in canada and PNG flying, some are into their 4th stint and have already paid off their $70-80,000 student loans, not a bad effort considering if they didnt take a loan they would still be well and truely slogging it out. 206, you would rather a slogger with 150 hours to fly your machine or a 2500 hour loaner? The student loan scheme is a good idea but should only be available to a selected few.....the ones that can tell the difference between an r22 and a 300 would be a start.
