Gents I suggest everyone calms down. The Beak may be a little direct, but the point is, be careful. Let's not be bashful, getting onto the CTC course is far from easy. All those who get to NZ have done well.
Think long and hard about what you are committing to, I think that is all that is being suggested. I'm 3 and a bit years into airline flying and I'm still knee deep in debt. To the tune of 44,000 quid (I borrowed 60k in 2004 at 2% above base, and Ive been paying back £1000 every month since the middle of 2006). And I've been flying and earning decent money since I finished at Nursling. It is a matter of luck, and good timing. If you have considered all this and still have the desire to go ahead with your training, then myself and every other ex-ctc person out there wishes you all the best.
