Well done littco, that's impressive reading sunshine .... good one

[Bernoulli's bro]

Littco well done , just wondering if you got those interviews of your own back or did sfc help you?

[littco]

I would certainly be happy to say that SFC contributed and helped towards 2 of them but the one I took was off my own back..

Same here some help in where you applied would be much appreciated, I would make that a case of beer and start the bidding war.

Total debt Supramkiv? If you mind me asking...including your degree sorry

Thanks

[supramkiv]

Think i spent IRO 45k all in all, and the degree was in Business & Marketing, not related but I found the study techniques I learned through uni did help with the ATPL exams. Thats not enough of a reason to do a degree first just to add!

Good work gang, youve just cheered me up no end... oh and for any body willing to share the names of places to send CV's I'll up the bidding to 6 beers, peanuts, a curry and a signed photo of keith chegwin..!!!

45K

Much lower then I actually thought it would be, I assume you were working at the time, paying off the student debt? Considering my uni debt is 15K on its own

Cheers

[dontpressthat]

Just had a quick add up and I reckon I've spent around 48k on PPL/ATPLgroundschool/CPL/hours/MEP/IR/MCC inc test fees etc.
Also add to that the debts Ive ammassed while only working part-time for almost 3years and the total figure is around the 75k mark..

Hi, the 45k figure was based on the cost of the flight training purely, I haven't paid my student loans off yet! You will not be liable to repay any uni loans during your flight training if that's a concern of yours. During my flight training I delivered take-away food to survive!
