Wiseman942 - you appear to offer advice yet have not been there yourself...
erm - of course Stapleford is not integrated (
http://www.caa.co.uk/docs/33/SRG_FCL_APPROVEDFTOS.PDF), and the flagship airline to which you refer is of course neither the flag carrier, nor one of long establishment.
I would still like sum advise off n e 1 willing about whether i should get a degree first or take the modular route straight away
tommyg737 ditto - you've not been there so don't offer blind advice. One integrated provider is not another.
And has any one heard about this new scheme that is a multi engined/pilot course?? apparently you get a job offer first, then start your training
MPL - read about it - it is not yet finalised. Wise up a bit before you take the plunge - you are only 18 and there is much about the industry that you should be aware about before embarking on training.
SBAB - is it a failure of a contractual relationship - is there a contract that states that they have to help you?
If so - issue a small claims court proceedings order through a solicitor - it neither costs much nor would any company prefer to go to court. That might get their attention and get something done.
On the other hand - have you written a CV and submitted it to them to pass on? Have you asked them what you can do to improve your chances? You do appear to complain, yet if they have not heard from you at all, one might assume (on their part) that you have a job already...?
Have you enquired how many places they have approached with your CV and ask them how you can improve it - ask what successful candidates have that you do not etc?
