For me, it's not so much about the qualification that attracts me to uni, but the life skills it gives you, which maybe of benifit when your applying for a job with the airlines.
Do you know which uni's have the flying squad's?
Thanks.

I agree with you totally! The fact of me going to University is just not for the qualification, but for the life that is to be lived while there. I feel that I would learn alot about myself if I were to go to Uni, which would then put me in good stead for pilot training and applying to the airlines. Although at the moment, I am drawn to the idea of Uni, I still have a gut feeling that I should be going to a FTO such as FTE Jerez or OAT, after my A-levels, but then I think, no, I am going to Uni! I just cannot make up my mind!!!!
