BA/VS Sponsorship/Scholarship. Likely?
All,
I'm a 22 year-old university student, due to complete my Computer Science degree in June this year. I completed a PPL back in November, and am now determined to find a career in aviation and would appreciate any sensible, related advice.
At school, I had several hours flying gliders and the Bulldog with the CCF. At university, I joined the University Air Squadron and went solo with the Grob Tutor. Obtaining mostly grade 1's for my flying (fast jet), I was soon asked to make a commitment to the RAF - a commitment I couldn't make as a military career was not for me.
As with many others, I am keen to fly with the big-boys such as BA or Virgin, but am totally unable to afford the money required to obtain an ATPL. Does my experience and age lend well to a scholarship or similar? What are my best options?
