As redsnail points out, full time eJ contracts are good. Be careful of the rubbish contracts (the one you'd go on) though. Got a couple of friends on those, one says life is okay and he thinks of it as a stepping stone, and the other absolutely despises everything about it and wishes he stayed unemployed and worked in ops somewhere in the hope that he could work his way to a decent RHS job.

He told me he lives above a garage in a depressing flat and just breaking even with living costs whilst living hours away from his family. Although on the later point, I think that was him going into flight training without fully knowing what the reality was.

It's not all as rosy as OAA and their marketing department lead you to believe.

Won't turn this into a debate, plenty of those threads about.
