the JAR ATPL is indeed the worst possible investment possible : three years and 50k for ending up serving fish and chips at your local street corner!
This scam must be denounced by all available means !
even throwing 50k in the dust bin does not require two years of study and practice
other ways
sports car (at least there is a resale value)
gift or wife (not always a good investment <img src="smile.gif" border="0"> )
small appartment (good investment)
