What do you do if the worst happens??
I have to ask this question to see what others this has happened to: Here is a scenario for you:
1) You want to become a pilot!
2) You mortgage your parents house as its the only way to get the money!
3) You go and do the course that you have dreamed of at oxford or cabair etc.!
4) The course turns out to be harder than you thought, But you dont figure that out until you have failed---BADLY---
5) Now you figure out that you are up s**t creak without a paddle, and have no way of paying back all that money.
This is my worst fear, if I decide to take the plunge and start a course. My questions are:
1) How do you know that you are able for a frozen ATPL course, Its not like college, you cant just drop out....Theres too much at stake!!
2) Does anyone know of ony people that this happened to?? How did they survive?
3) What are the dropout/Failure statistics for the better known flight training schools??
4) Whats the best way to prepare for your integrated course?
I dont wish to be morbid, But I think these are the big questions people need to know before taking the steep financial plunge. Also, is it better to have a PPL before a full integrated course?
Thanks everyone!!
