I don't know what it is like over there, i am down under, but i am sure it won't be to much different.

Here you see glossy posters and ad's to tell you that you should train with them because they are the best and prepare you the best for airline industrie, well that is just bs.

down here people won't be able to apply for any small airline untill they have like 1500 hours in there log book with a couple/few 100 off multi IFR.

FTO's are a buisines. just like Mc Donnalds. Mc Donnald sell Hamburgers. You buy one and what you do with it is up to you.

FTO sell pilot licences. they sell you one, thats all they care about, and what you do with it is up to you.

Just my 2 cents worth.

Dont let it hold you back from flight training tough. You train because you have an interest or pasion for flying. If you are going to let the economy try to make up your mind you will never achive your dreams.
By the time you have done your training who know's what has happend in the economie or other factors. If some other idiot makes 9/11 look small than there is likely a change you wont be flying any time soon.
just go for it mate.
