From Wannabe to Willneverbe
I work for the biggest airline in the UK. Middle class it is not. There are lots of pilots here who worked hard, saved the money and paid for the training when the credit arrived into their bank accounts.
However, more and more cadets are coming on line with ridiculous amounts of debt. Personally I think impatience has a lot to answer for. "That's what I want and I want it now!"
It's not impossible to earn the money to pay for training. A lot of hard work and determination goes a long way.

I think you've just hit the nail on the head!
Impatiance has alot to answer for. I think no doubt it was a factor in the current recession. The culture of buying everything on credit, taking out loans for holidays, heck I'm no economist but surely it would have been obvious that this couldn't go on forever? I have friends at uni who eat in to their overdraft like there's no tommorrow - we're talking up to £2000 interest free overdrafts here. No one has the patience to wait and earn whats rightfully theirs.
God when did I become so cynical!!!??? I apolagise

The night is still young Student88...the Turner only comes out at those times of true desperation when we all must remind ourselves... that we are...simply...the best
