You have to be off your rocker to consider an integrated course now, unless you can afford to loose £80k.

Forget borrowing money on your folks' home. If you need to borrow, you can't afford it and should not be doing it in the current climate.

CTC used to be a fantastic product that benefitted all concerned, but to do it now you'd need to be a huge risk taker, and airlines don't like huge risk takers!

Seriously, look at the threads around wizzair getting 1000s of applicants, EZY's flexi-crew, RYR trying to further cut t&cs (what's next?) every airline cutting routes/jobs/going bust etc. The industry is absolutely knackered and people just need to get real.

If it comes back in 2 years, then you've won some more time to save and lost nothing. Airlines and deep recessions are an awful combination and peoples lives could be ruined borrowing huge amounts for training.
