i know "innovative" was always my particular favourite.....
the writing's been on the wall ever since ctc started increasing course sizes to 10-12. any type of market downturn and they were going to struggle to place cadets. with the hold pool growing the only way they could place pilots was by sharing the work - hence FlexiScrew. if they'd only stuck to 4-6 a course like in the good old days.....
Mr_Big - people are just trying to help you out. I know you are excited about heading out to the Tron but you'd have to be mad to start now. If i were you i'd delay a year and re-assess things then. Work like a dog, earn some cash to part-fund the course then start the training when things start picking up. Itll be the best decision you make.
