fATPL is only halfway there if that

To anyone out there I'd advise you not to start training integrated unless you can afford the 1.2k a month repayments. If your family will be stretched to achieve the money for your fatpl. And you can't fund a type rating you have very close to Zero if any chance of a jet job. Even to instruct you will need to find 7k more.

Having just finished my training debt free at least I don't have these crippling payments to make. There are thousands of people with a fatpl and others with time on type.

Seriously get your training done cost effectively and without as much debt as possible. The bar has been moved; a fatpl isn't the end and there are more costs required. If you can't afford a type rating after training. I would suggest a re-think.
