Sorry Mr Bigglesworth but jb5000 is correct in some ways.
Yes there has always been an element of risk when embarking on an Ab Inito course, however there have been better times to start.
Sorry but the idea that you will be able to tap the emerging markets with your 250 hrs and Airbus rating is laughable. You seem to have fallen victim of the Woodward bull. Still at least when you start CP80 you can be safe in the knowledge that you weren't the only one who fell for it.... Hopefully these emerging markets they are targeting have enough room for the 'hold pools' sorry 'hold oceans' that will exist when you finish.
just telling it as I see it sorry.
