Thanks for your replies chaps.
Sky Wave - I am 31 at the moment but am envisaging starting the CPL/MEIR in the next two years and hence will be ready to apply for the ATP scheme in 2008 / 2009 when I turn 33. I know you do not have a crytsal ball but do you have any idea what the future trend for pilot recruitment is over the next three years?
Many thanks
