My question would be broader. Do you want to be a pilot? As in, a pilot first and foremost. Or do you want to be a longhaul pilot above all else, for a flag carrier?
If you knew how that you’d never get to fly for aer Lingus, or fly longhaul, would that change your mind about pursuing the career? If yes, I’d question your motivation a little more before committing. The training can be pretty miserable especially in the ground school stage. Your first job could be on anything, and anywhere, including the dreaded ATR..!
Take the advice and slow down, work out what it is you actually want to achieve, and then people can help.
As an aside, if you want to be a pilot then go and get a class 1 today. Madness to even humour the career choice if you don’t have a medical. You never know what you might fail on.
Yes I do! It's my one true dream in life. I don't really care what I am flying or where, as long as it isn't ATRS
But seriously, I would fly anything, anywhere. The reason I asked about IBE/EIN and longhaul is because that is what i would
want if everything goes my way (which it won't but iot would be nice to end up there)
