bowser - how do you know this? it isn't in the prospectus. I have the air2000 prospectus from last year and indeed it quite clearly states that some money will be deducted, but in this BE one there is no mention of such a practice.
costly? yes but a lot cheaper than self funding and even with the promise (not guarentee) of a job, it is a hell of a lot more worthwhile than paying for the whole thing myself and definitely not having a job at the end!! I guess it isn't for everyone as it may not fit in with everyone's lifestyle but for those who can beg/borrow/steal the cash then it is (in my opinion) an opportunity not to be missed.
