Mabey,
If you want to be a pilot, then you must really really WANT it. It's not as easy as just joining the RAF, then jumping ship to the airlines, you need to do some research first, thousands of people from the UK would like to be a pilot in the RAF, they go to university air squadron, have to pass tough selection tests and even then the percentage that get through is low in comparison to the amount of applicants. Use the internet to search the Canadian air force, and I think it’s crazy that you are basing your reason to join the RAF because a Seaking went down, RAF aircraft can crash too.
Don’t take offence to this as none is intended, but you are still immature, I think you need stay in at school, keep researching all your options, think of secondary careers in case your flying one does not take off, get down the CRAF careers office.
To ask what the salary is, will it qualify you to fly the “large” airlines, etc etc are questions you ask later, once you have determined your route. You REALLY have to work on your spelling, and I’m not the spelling police but – “pritty” “aplicants” “accsepts” “acording” “avrage”
Concentrate on the basics, get through school, think about further education, and alternative career, do some research, take a trial flight or two, make sure it is what you really want as it’s a very expensive, long hard slog to gaining your licences.
What ever you do I wish you the best of luck!
