LeeH - time is certainly on your side. I left University in 2001 - applied to the BA sponsorship scheme and got the same letter as Easy did. I struggled to find employment but eventually did and after one move I now have a good career earning fairly good money in the City. Whilst working, I have been saving for my flight training. I resigned from my job two weeks ago to take up a place on the CTC Wings scheme. These things do happen, just try to ensure that you maximise the value out of anything that you do. Whether that is University, or a job.
