Hello guys out there!
I think, I am in similar situation as Craig and other wannabes. Already as a child I wanna be a pilot, but unfortunately the feeling wasn't strong enough. Some years have passed and last year I got back to my childhood's dream: to be an airline pilot. So I started to gather information (cadet programmes, flying schools, pilot forums, etc), when I found Lufthansa's cadet programme. Unfortunately I am too old to qualify, but maybe you can try it.
Good luck!
