I don’t know your age / circumstances but anything where you put yourself in a position where you are learning skills which lend themselves to being a pilot/are speaking to pilots/learning leadership skills etc… Things like:
Gaining work experience/working in aviation related role to understand the industry
Attending BA employee events / online workshops
Flying on a BA flight
Getting involved in flying clubs
If at uni joining the university flying club (if there is one)
Air cadets
Doing some flying lessons
Taking on a leadership role in some way
Playing team sport
Getting a Class 1 Medical so you know you have no health concerns
Arranging a meeting with a pilot/s to ask them about their job
Things like that come to mind for me
