Devil Ah poor things need to pay another £34k to get a ......

No they don't need to pay!!!!!!

They need patience and perseverance and character not the flash in the pan X factor, zero to hero if you can get a loan response. They need encouragement to try flying something other than an A320 simulator. Like a year in Africa or working at a Flying Club to gain hours and contacts.

I know a professional pilot who took 8 years just to get a CPL (in the days when you needed 700h minimum). It took him 2 years to save enough for a PPL. He did the postman, welder, stacking shelves jobs and he managed to get a grant to pay for £1k towards training. Now he's a Captain with over 5000h of excellent worldwide flying experience.
