Spang,
Thanks for posting, 4 out of 50 employed from, reputedly, the best course available; now that's a scary statisitc. I'm guessing that at least a couple of those had friends in a position to present their CV's to the right people as well.
I'm considering taking the same route as you, but I'm very worried about having to lay out 10 years worth of savings AND taking on a loan.
We get to read motivational postings from those who've made it (I'm certainly not knocking them, they keep me hoping!), but not many from those who've just achieved a frozen ATPL and are struggling to find that first job. I always assumed that was simply because those that found a job stopped reading the wannabes forum. Please keep us informed of your progress, and any news you hear about the other 50.
Good Luck, I hope something turns up for you in the very near future, and that we'll be reading a motivational story from yourself.
