The Truth About the Profession

Every single person thinking of a pilot cadetship should read every single word of that site.
When you have done that, then consider if the airline industry is for you.
The design of these cadetship are to in-debt, you become an indentured serf. This is a deal with the devil if taken on credit.
Unless you can afford to buy your way out before you start the course, you will be trapped, with no escape, a plaything of the airline.

You only need to look at the financial crisis, bailouts & (ongoing) bonuses situation to see how indebtedness has been used as a tool to exploit the weak to favour the strong. Trust me you will be the weak.

You may also want to check the Easyjet cadet experience here on PPRuNE & how many cadets face bankruptcy as a result of their training expenses. Easyjet Cadet Pilot Slavery Contract, and the follow-up CTC Wings Cadets part 2

If you then decide the industry is for you, please, never complain & tell us you weren't warned.
