I have to say I'm slightly worried that some posters are getting on peoples backs for their concerns over salary.

If successful you're going to be based in one of the most expensive areas of the UK to live in. Not so much a problem if you've still got your bedroom at Mum & Dads house to live in while you save. Surprisingly though, not everyone is from London & The SE.

While this is a decent deal for guys wanting in to the industry you surely can't forgot that this is a job you're applying for? A job that (lets face it) you're going to be in for a while. A job that has to pay for you down there and other aspects of life (travelling to see loved ones? Kids?). I'd be worried if people weren't making sure this job could be sustainable before applying.

Don't treat such behaviour as a 'lack of commitment towards flying'. Treat it as being realistic.

Good luck to all applying including quite a few of my chums.
