Looks like i'm in the same boat as RMCFARLANE. I'm 22 and Currently in a very well paid engineering job. Problem is, the jobs boring and i've always wanted to be an airline pilot! Decided to take a year off and go for the APP at Oxford. At least this way i'll have a job to come back to while looking for a job in aviation.
I know this might sound daft but, my only concern is that even at 23-24 (when qualified) i still might be too old?????
Anyone got any opions on that, as a bit of reassurance wouldn't go a miss!! ha.
