It seems to be apparent that to become an airline pilot you either need to be very rich or get yourself into unmanageable amounts of debt
Unmanageable amounts of debt? Absolute Bks

Please explain that one? Ever heard about working for X amount of years to pay off well over 75% of the training? Then studying part-time? So you have a sustainable income which pays for the remainder of the training?

Why the rush? Or is it because you are intent on doing things integrated?

Whilst I was lucky enough to not face the financial hardships the majority of cadets face, I still know of many colleagues who only became pilots in their late twenties, early thirties and had no more than £5K of loans.

Please feel free to come here and rant. We all do it. But don't come out with sensationalist BS like that sentence I have quoted.

ANYONE can afford to be a pilot.
