If you decide to anyway; get some other skills first do something a bit different first get some money behind you.
if you are willing to spend your own money you will probably be able to keep at it.
easyjet et al only recruit newbies from their ATOs if you want to get straight in with them and others that have a similar set up go integrated.
modular etc is fine but never expect to join an airline - yes it might but you should plan to be an instructor and content on being that way for a good portion of your prime years where you would be developing in another career.
Rubbish. You got your licence close to the 15 years ago in a completely different environment. As has been said, not everyone has the aptitude to
actually be a pilot.
If you come out of Modular training there are options everywhere. BA, TUI, Loganair etc etc. and those are just the advertised ones, that’s not including instruction jobs, pilot apprentice schemes etc etc. I get why you’re bitter, but don’t try and project that onto people in a totally different scenario to you.
The getting other experience first, complete waste of time and money. Spend five years learning to be an accountant. Why? For the 12 months where you
might be waiting for a job. Great, you’ve just bought £50K of student debt and 5 less years making £150-200K as a training captain at the top of your career.
There are thousands of Modular airline pilots in the uk alone. At some point you need to let it go mate.
