I agree that this is one of the only ways to get a first job at present, but only for them who have the cash! Such a shame that only them with money are able to pursue a career in aviation at the minute. I'm from a working class family who have done all they can to help me fund my atpl(f), and unfortunately there is nothing else i can do now as i have no more money and will not be able to get any further loans until all of my 4 loans taken out for flight training are paid off in 8 years time
