Ok, so I'm now literally in a debate with my mum and her partner and strangely I'm on the other side. They are pushing for me to accept their offer of where-ever the money comes from just spend it on an integrated course to get me on the first ladder.
After reading through this forum, I'm of the mindset that I don't want to drag down everyone around me for a dream that could perhaps best be left as a dream for the amount of risk/cost involved, while also that I feel I could (highly possible) very well fall into the category of those that have remortgaged/spent savings/spent parents money/used whatever the money came from to fund a dream which is just almost impossible to break into for the majority due to overcrowdedness of freshly qualified int/mod. coursed fATPL/CPL licenced cadets, of which setting me in stone of debt and a very low income/low standard of living for the rest of my life, or at least putting me behind for a bloody good 10 years.
So, our debate then comes down to this quite often:
How many roughly have you applied for?
Of those total that haven't gotten a job yet, how many have families that are stopping them accepting jobs in other countries, thus limiting their availability to accept jobs in other countries or moving to a different part of the country,
What is the range/distance that you have applied TO pilot jobs for (example, currently living in the UK, but applied to an Asian airline)
what has been a limiting factor of not progressing further in an application(however far you got) ie;not having a particular rating/hours.
I don't want to get into all your personal lives, so by means try to keep as much personal stuff out of this, just the basics would be appreciated :)
Muchly appreciated
