Airline pilots are super heroes!!!..........
Thats the attitude of people who know nothing at all about the aviation industry. I must admit when I was around 15 years old, I felt the same and thought it was a completely un-obtainable career.
I am just about to start my training, hopefully integrated but will probably go modular due to finance!!!
I work in an airline operational role, and have had nothing but inspiration from the men in stripes for me to push forward.
May I add I am educated to GCSE level and nothing further. Upon mentioning that to one of our FO's, he commented..."mate I am thick as pig sh1t, got 2 O'levels...". He is now a captain!!
I would definately check out this site though, and sit the aptitude test. Gives you a free insight to what some of the aptitudes are like...
