PT,
You are right when you say there is always going to be something political going on,and there are certainly no certainties about the state of airline recruitment in the future. As I said before I am going to wait six months for financial reasons. My situation is such that I have very little savings to go directly towards training costs and would be borrowing the majority from various sources!
As this is in many ways a gamble I am treating it in the same way...do not gamble more than you can afford to lose!
Maybe you are in a different position financially or maybe I should just get on with it and stop sitting on the fence! [must say its not the most comfortable of fences!]
Would welcome feedback
