First of well, welcome to pprune. But with the best will in the world, from someone already doing the job for a different carrier, having bragging rights of flying a jet is one of the worst reasons anyone could consider going into the job. Most interview panels would see right through it.

Any research into any past scheme will quickly show you that if a company pays for/provides security for/assists with costs of a loan or course, starting salaries are almost always lower. You're free to go and do your own course self funded at a school and apply for jobs off your own back at what then might be a different or higher salary-although you'd likely have to settle for bragging rights on flying an A320 or 737.

Sorry if that's a little harsh-just trying to let you know how your post comes across to those in the industry...
