i have just got my a level results which to be honest aren't that pleasing. i had applied for university with first choice royal Holloway and second choices queen marys for astrophysics. got accepted at queen mary but declined it as i have my heart set on royal holloway. but this means me taking a gap year.
i have been very enthusiastic about being a pilot for really long. my influence is my dad who is a captain and has been flying almost all his life. i have booked my 1st class medical and have also booked my aptitude test with cabair. after these two i am considering going to America for my jaa PPL and then hopefully coming back by November to join the ATPL course at london guild hall uni. i know i have high chances of getting a job as the situation in india is really good and i am a uk/indian dual national.
although i feel that i may be missing out by not going university after the gap year. my other option is that i do my fATPL then go to university for a 3 year course and then complete my flying as the fATPL is valid for 5 years.
