I mayb e able to get my ppl, i get re-assesed in feb. I can tlive off a PPL though! obviously. If im allowed ill be getting it, but itll havw to be on the back of an engineering wage.

Ive been professional musicain and teacher so far, but im bored of it and this is the way i want to go with my life now.

AW are defiently a great company and yes it could make sense to work there (on apprenticeship) and then during your own time get you EASA 66. Then i guess id move into another company and become a licensed engineer.
I want to gain type ratings so i can work abroad too. Im loking at all options, however ive missed the AW now untill next year, so ill push for apprenticeships. If that fails then ill try and get work exp. during this year and then re-apply for AW/apprenticeships or maybe an aero course with the EASA 66 included. Do you know if you have to do a specific Helicopter course? the few i briefly looked at seem to just teach you on planks.

What do you think?
