College Work Experience

Hi all,

Not sure if anyone can help but, hopefully, it wont hurt to try!

I am in my 3rd year of a 4 year Batchelor of Science degree in Computing Science. Next February I am to supposed to start a 6 month placement in industry. Eventhough I am doing this course its my ultimate desire/passion/will etc. to become a comercial pilot. Ive been flying for the past 4 years and have recently enough gone solo. I am MAD about flying and because of this I would love to be able to combine my work placement with this. I have applied to about 25 companies/airlines/agencies but so far ive only got about 5 replies - 4 being completely negative and 1 mainly-negative(contact them in the new year etc.). I was just wondering if anyone had any ideas how I might go about this? Im studying in Griffith College Dublin( http://www.gcd.ie ) and i'd be greatful for any suggestions - unfortunately, going abroad is not an option as i have commitments in the evenings...

Any suggestions are greatfully received - and sorry for the long-winded post!!

Thanks,
FFD
