Hi all
I agree with all above. If you want to go into flying well that is fine. HOWEVER,
1) Avoid if possible getting a loan ($)
2) Do the bare min (depending on circumstances)
3) As mentioned by Huntsman, talk with people about their experiences.
4) Be careful of flight schools offering you the world and those that have flashy brochures ( a bit like flashy finance brochures)
5) Have a "funk hole" i.e. if things do not go your way have a back up plan.
I pretty much followed all of the above except number 2 (I got everything). It did not work out for me so I am now doing finance at uni and enjoying it.
I certainly do not regret having a go at the flying, it just did not work out, so I moved on.
And before someone says it "no, I am not bitter"
