Tough tits. Can't afford to pay the money back because you can't get a flying job? Then it should never have been borrowed...and it's YOUR fault, not the banks. If you need to pick vegtables or work in McDonalds to pay it off, then do so.
Just to pick up on one of your points here, I think your view is a tad extreme saying that its your fault you can't get a job! And I'm sorry but working in McDonalds is not going to service a debt of £1000/month plus living allowances is it?
