sorry about the double posting didn't mean to do that!
Anyway, i applied to RBS, and 'did not score highly enough yadayada...' so I am just waiting on my second application from Barclays. I posted a msg similar to yours a while back, you see, i am relatively young, live with my parents and work at a local supermarket to help foot the bill for the flying.I explained my intentions on wanting to do my ATPL's etc...but didn't get anywhere.
What pi**ed me off was that how can they expect someone of 19 to have a steady job, earning a decent wage and maybe own a house. I think not, I thought the whole idea of a CDL was to enhance your career by getting a loan to do so as you can't afford to yourself, otherwise you would have paid your own way.
Another thing that pi**d me off was that it said they were willing to give 100% of the loan to someone who has been unemployed for 3 months, now how on earth can they justify that if they won't give it to someone like like KillKenny who seems to be pretty secure??? The term 'go figure' springs to mind.
Right, well thats enbough whinging from me.
Oh and by the way Halifax don't do a CDL, trust me i tried that one!
