I'm still not sure, but I think I will give Uni a miss. It sounds good fun (and I don't want to miss out on the social side) but if after 3 years you have a PPL, at CTC or Oxford for instance you could have an ATPL in half that time. I know that sounds abit naive, putting all your eggs in one basket and all that, but isnt it also 3 years lower down a seniority list?

The other thing is the increased cost.

Do you know how much airlines like specific aviation degrees? i.e does it make you more employable- or more favorable for promotion to say management maybe later in your career?


Thanks
