You should certainly give it a shot. Get a Class 1 medical and a PPL then you can start on the ATPL study and the rest will fall into place.
I work on Crew Transfer Vessels running technicians out to Offshore Windfarms.
Thanks for the advice. I did think FI could be an interesting route to go down if not an airline. If I made it to the point of being paid to fly I'm sure I'd be pretty happy wherever that seat may be.
