Why did you post this then in the past?

Anybody on pprune have any info on how i can get a part-time job at MAN as a bagage handler? I am full-time at college stufying A level Maths, physics and Geography and would like to save up for my PPL. Ive tryed every phone number and email address for that matter and still no luck.
Evidently you have changed some of your subjects - did you choose them based upon what you are good at or stick your finger in the wind and think "flying is about maths and physics" and go from there? If you can't stand learning - how do you hope to motivate yourself through ATPL theory?

Do you really think that will be sufficient to fund your training, not to mention time taken to run the business?

You have gone against all advice you have ever asked for on PPRuNe. Yes, you will be accepted without A-Levels if you have a licence, but that has to be the most short-sighted view of your 40+ year career that I have ever seen.

Instructions:

Get off the computer. Stop playing flight sim and tracking flights. Get some experience of it, your ability, and your medical situation before you lauch headlong into training. Enrol back in college asap.

I'd stop using your real name as well, as if you google it, you come up with 7 pages of replies in different flight sim forums. Nobody here has anything against passion, but I think that most would advise to use it in a more targetted manner if you wish to pursue this as a career. Flying a flight sim is nothing like the real world, operating with a broad spectrum of people in a team, and dealing with real issues.
