Any advice?
Hi All.
First time on pprune, so please be gentle.
I start my ground studies at Oxford in the next couple of months (Modular). I don’t know anyone in the airline industry and my only experience with commercial pilots is through my flying club (Exeter).
The reason I am writing this thread is to ask for insider info, from people who have done the same. I would obviously love to get straight in with an airline but I’m certainly not going to put all my eggs in one basket. I’m not going to sit around for months chasing shadows, I want to fly and I’m not bothered in what capacity. I think an instructor rating would be a good idea to start getting hours in my book and experience (assuming I get to that level), or throwing jumpers (tips please).
Please comment on any experiences throughout your training you think I and others like me would benefit. Any hints or tips, however small, that if you could do again you would have done differently.
I can’t wait to get stuck in as I’m sure you’re all aware so any help will be much appreciated.
Many Thanks.
