Honestly....I believe I fell for a very clever marketing trick that the FTO is still advising prespective students.
I removed those specs months ago, infact during my initial flight training i started to loose faith in the assistance we would recieve in securing a job and how readily we would be accepted!
I would consider the instructor route but for two reasons. Firstly, I just dont have the available cash. Secondly I left a relatively well paid job to commence my training with a view to improving quality of life. While that may be a means to an ends, im not sure that i could cover the bills on the salary! hohum
