re: the whole “why go to uni” thing, I think some people, myself included, go to uni because they can’t afford pilot training (although it’s backfired for me because my degree is useless). I know many talented young people on my course who are on track for 1st class degrees and masters in aeronautics, and they too want to be pilots but haven’t come from backgrounds where their parents are able to or willing to pay for a fATPL.
