You are obviously passionate about this - and for that I applaud you. I also agree with you that the way course places are allocated can be frustrating (being politically correct here!).
However, what ever you do - and please take this bit of advice from someone who is well in the know when it comes to this industry; grab what you can get at this moment in time. The whole world does not revolve around BA. The like of VS, MON etc are great carriers to work for. Take ezy if it comes along - at least it will give you some experience - will put you in touch with people. This is a very small world (aviation).......a lot of it is 'who you know'......
But please do not fall in the snobby trap like someone else on this forum....
Determination is what it is all about!
