How long (years?) - after the 2yr part time period - would it take to pay off the debt?

[captainherc]

There should be no debt as can afford to pay as I go. May be looking at approx $8000.00. To repay and recoup this I do not care as such. Now just possibly looking at doing some thing that I am passionate about and any monetry gain from it is a bonus. I am already running a small business from home part time anfd this could fill tha gap.

You could possibly get a job with the RNZAF ... they were advertising for 757/C130 pilots last week . mind you , you,d have to be chummy with someone to get full work with that outfit

As someone who would dearly love to do a C-Cat, but can't get on it because I didn't pass my MEIR, I would say DO IT!

Wait till i go to the old US stocks at Davis Monathan , buy myself a second hand P3 and have 06 painted on the nose and painted in RNZAF livery that would confuse Air Commodore Steve Moore to bits
