Becoming a Pilot: Which course of action?
I've tried posting this in the other forums but not much help there so here goes:
I cannot decide whether to go to do this 2 year uni course (foundation degree in aviation management and ops) at london met uni (starting in one week) which will involve getting me a PPL and ATPL ground school and a bit of aviation business studies thrown in (i can get all my fees paid for plus £6k per year student loans). But I have to pay for all the flying and exam fees etc.
But I've also been offered a place to do an Integrated course at FTE Jerez and pay the £65k or so to improve my chances.
Both routes would mean that I have to borrow from the bank but obviously the university route is cheaper (but modular), I hear it all the time that Integrated (more expensive!) is preferred by airlines and that it's damn hard to get employment at the mo.
I've got a constant headache as time is ticking and only one week left to make a decision. (and i cannot put it off for another year as age is now an issue (28).
Any tips to help my decision please folks?
