"London University offer an aviation course that gives an ATPL and a degree in aviation management"
Anyone who wants a career as a management pilot at 16 needs looking at by a medical professional...
Wholly agree with Speed Twelve, It becomes your job no matter how much you love it. I certainly wouldn't go around whoring out your flying services after you invest 70k+ into training, the key word investment meaning there is a return after a period of time no?
Besides I don't really know of many opportunities other than instruction or RHS for a CPL/IR 150hrs. Not many Air Taxi firms would touch someone with a blue licence for single pilot ops. And as for banner towing and crop spraying gigs, I would struggle to find many of those either.
We're all keen and love our job, I certainly do, and there aren't many airline pilots who are desperately unhappy, but I'm afraid you can't just do it for the love...
