Four years an an FI and I do another job to boot to pay my bills. I just about cover everything every month. They way I see it the only way into an airline now is to SSTR. It's not going to change. It is to big a revenue stream.
Right now I feel I might as well got a loan for £30k and be skint flying a 737 instead of a 152. And if it all goes wrong you go to the magistrates court, declare bankruptcy and the banks don't get their money back. It's a dog eat dog world.
