Question Pondering my Future...

Hey guys, and im new so bear with me

Right, im 16, and i have just left school, and i am going onto college to study Further Maths, Maths, Physics and either geography or computing. At GCSE level i hope to get grades into the region of A's and A*'s.

Looking over the forums there is hundreds of wannabes, which is obvious as a job in the sky is an appealing one. I know the drawbacks, the positives, and i believe a future in aviation would suit me.

As far as i know you need an fATPL, which enables one to become an First Officer, then you progress to over 1500 hours and become a Captain. To get to fATPL level you need to go to a Flight School, and the ones i know of are, FTE, OAT, EPST and CTC. Currently i like the look and success of FTE, and OAT with its brilliant course. Any other FTO's out there?

This is all i know guys, and i would love some input into helping me decide where to go, where to apply to, and such like.

The more random the information the better!

Oh and i love Facts

Thanks a million,
Chris.
