but never really liked the idea of being strapped to a rocket pulling 9G's at 36000ft,
Can't think of anything better



i think i would prefer a life of luxary (or how ever you spell it???) in a flight deck of an airliner!
The front end of a 152 when you're instructing is just so spacious. And the service from the cabin crew....exemplary!

Have a look round these forums. Very few people are getting jobs, and those that do certainly aren't living a life of luxury. I'm just saying it so you are aware what you're getting into. It's tough.
You are starting off well, saving up for lessons. As you know, it is an expensive game. You don't say your age so I'll guess mid teens. If so, look at the air cadets. You can then apply for a flying scholarship, do a good bit of gliding and gain an insight into the air force. You may even find the idea of being in the air force appealing.
Plenty of air cadet places round glasgow. I was in one for years when I was young, and had some crachking experiences through it.

Good luck
