How do YOU fund your ATPL course?
There must be lots of people here, who have the prospects of going through the training to gain an ATPL to eventually join those Airlines.
Can I ask, how do you fund your Pilot Training?
I'm hearing of a considerable amount of people going and joining FTO's and starting their ATPL training, and im thinking, WHERE DID THEY GET THE CASH??? To pay £30,000+ to a FTO, albeit, over a course of 3-4 years how do you fund it all, unless you are mega rich!
You cant tell me that ALL the trainee Pilots in the UK (or world) have "borrowed" money of their Parents, or have the sufficient funds to just hand over to an FTO like that.
Do you get loans to support your training?
Do you work and earn, and pay that way?
The way I see it for me, is that im going to have to work till im 25 to be able to have the sufficient £30,000 for training. Is anyone else in the same situation here?
What would you suggest???
I am eager to find out.....
