Do I take the job offer?
Hi guys
I've just finished my A levels and I'm set a career as a pilot, which I thought would begin as soon as possible.
Up until last week I had planned to begin training for an integrated ATPL course by the end of 2007/early 2008. Then a job opportunity came along working for an aviation recruitment consultancy called Aeroprofessional which would require me to delay training for around a year.
Obviously the training is what I want to do, but do you think that the experience gained within the industry would benefit me more over the next year than getting straight into the training at the age of 19? I don't want to lose a year of flying if it won't be of much benefit.
I in fact already have a skills assessment booked at OAT for next month and I was planning on taking it from there depending on how I fared, but this could change all my plans.
Thanks for any advice you can give,
Kieran
