I just find it somewhat of an annoyance when i am breaking my back trying to get into this industry when some little cambridge graduate who has never even been inside the doors of a factory suddenly gets his integrated 50K course costs paid in full and 2 years later is flying for British Airways.
I find that annoying too. But it did not stop me earning the money BEFORE I PAYED for my licence (modular), and became a pilot. I wasn't 22 when I first sat in a jet. So what? I felt great having achieved it on my own, and had had some interesting experiences on the way. Borrowing money and then declaring bankruptcy never, ever occurred to me, and I find it morally reprehensible. The world is not 'fair', get over yourself.
