Bow5,
I'm going to do my best not to patronise you here, but I can't promise anything.
I don't know how old you are, or what your life experience is, but I think you need to learn a few things.
This guy has indicated he has a family. He presumably also currently has a job. Lets say he gets paid 25K a year. He uses this to feed/cloth/house his family and probably doesn't have a huge amount left over.
He then decides he wants to be a pilot. To do this he must give up his job for a year. Therefore he doesn't get paid. So the opportunity cost of giving up the job to do the training is 25k in lost earnings. His family still has to be fed/clothed/housed, these are fixed costs which he must still bare.
Do you see what I'm getting at. If not buy a pair of bigger glasses.
Try to listen to what people are telling you and others. We have been through it, and have the scars to prove it.
I'm sorry if you take offense to this, but you did effectively call me stupid in your post.
Good luck to all.
