We've all got our money the hard way. Whether you worked your nuts off saving it, or borrowed it and are working your nuts off paying it back.

I agree that the airlines should give us credit for this, we are obviously very determined and enthusiastic people (or perhaps stupid). I think its a real shame that it seems to be the other way. If Daddy gave you the cash for a Cap 509/integrated course, or someone sponsored you through, your CV will go strait to the top of the pile.

It sucks.

Angry Too much

fATPL, cost approx 55k. That takes into consideration the NVQ benefit about a year ago. Some of that has been from family, some an HSBC Professional Studies Loan (30k), approx 5k worth has been paid by RAF flying scholarship and the Air League. Having to renew ratings and do an MCC course later this year and that will probably set me back approx £6500.

For those of you busting a gut to find money for ratings, cannot recommend the Air League enough. A few hours paid for here or there towards specific ratings is extremely useful at the moment. They have a website. Also believe GAPAN have a few sponsorships too.

My new alternative career is bank-robbing and wondered if anyone wanted to join my gang.....pensions are being provided by HRH QE and they also have creche facilities too.

Yet to start the FTO, but the course is 85000€ and i need support fees say 12000€ for 15 months (rent, food etc.)
Further i need to put in the loan percentage say 10000€. Comes together at 107000€. Might throw in a type rating at the end for 6000€. say 113000€.
Will look at about 70000 pounds of debt init?
