Hi,
This is my first post of these boards, so apologies If I've put this in the wrong place (the huge array of boards you've got here look a bit daunting at first glance).
I'm 16 and looking to become a commercial pilot within the next few years, and I was wondering what approach (forgive the pun) I should take to get into the industry. I am currently a member of my local Air Cadet unit (158 (Witham) D/F if anybody wants to know) and have been for the past 3 and a half years.
I know it's one hell of an expensive bill for the training, so I'm looking at CTC McAlpine's Cadet Sponsorship Scheme as a possible route in, along with other airline sponsorships.
Also, I'm curious of the limits of the JAR Class I medical with regards to weight in proportion to height. As a fairly large person, it's a bit of a worry to me that I might not even pass the medical.
Thanks in advance for any help
Craig
