Hello people. some very good point, I really appreciate them thanks.

I agree about this modular/intergrated debate.

I have gone through the selection at Oxford, and they are a very professional school and have a good reputation. But the thing that is really becoming a problem is funding £71,000 for the 18 month course, then an extra £20k type rating thats £91,000! ( if not employed by BA)

So I agree with superpilot, I have looked at stapleford, in essex and they offer excellent training there. And to be qualified its around £35,000. I am also looking add to this around £27,000 for B737 TR, and 100 line experience with astraeus.

I am of the opinion that this would benefit me in getting a job. (correct me if i am wrong)

With everything else added it looks as though it will cost around £65,000

Yes I am a 25 year old earning £25,000 a year, and feel i need to forefill my ambition of becoming a pilot.

I am feeling pressured slightly as I feel the longer i leave it the hard it will be to become employed, is this true?

Any other opinions would be great.
