Thanks alot it's good that i can ask these questions here instead of wondering whether i should go up to a pilot at the airport no i wouldnt do that, i know how stressfull working can be.
i have another question if you were 23 now would you think of getting into the aviation again as a pilot or would you say no because of the changes in the market. i am now considering keeping my feet on the groung but i feel o.k about that as the job is very demanding as well as worrying about safety.
i think i'll admire from afar and just use my flightsimulator. i was looking at alteon which i found out about when i went for my interview for my travel in cheadle and on the u.s site they offer rides for the public.
its a shame they dont do that here, i would love to pay and prove to myself whether i could fly the plane or not i could probably fly the a330/40 ok as its pay ware and designed to be realistic as some pilots have said. thanks for your replies, the funny thing when i checked the weather for lax in the morning its always ifr i guess way too much pollution.
