mental debt levels
On the point of cost, was chatting to a TR student at FR who stated that the fATPL had left them with £98k of debt and they were now embarking on the FR TR for 33k euros - seriously scary levels of debt considering that once they are all signed off to fly the line (assuming they get through) as a brookfield contractor, on their 9 day week (5 on 4 off) theyll be lucky to get 2-3 days flying.
There must surely be a cut off point where the overwhelming levels of debt become un-survivable?
I reckon if you survive this industry, you might just about get rid of your debts in your late 50's !!
Scary thought
