Re: Advice to become a pilot
hmmm, things may have changed. However - I did a mod course, ie ppl - night - multi and hour building in the states. Came back to the UK for the CPL/IR and did it in 11 months (zero to done) to a fATPL/IR, then after a few months searching - off to a Boeing. Modular CAN work guys - if it saves time and not to mention money, its worth a look at. Its you and the blue book on interview not just the name of the flight school.
If you're the right chap/lovely lady - it can happen
I wish you all the best of luck - it will happen
best regards,
