Grambo,
The top message in this forum is called stickies and one of the posts states "Please Read before you ask a question". And it has a links to perhaps the 2 most important questions any wannabee (that is you) needs to know:
Do You Really Want To Do This?
Is It All Worth It?
It then answers a few more questions once you have decided the pilot life is for you:
What course should you take?
A Question for the Professionals
The never-ending 'Modular vs. Integrated' debate.
How important are the ATPL exam marks?
And then the small matter of money:
What does it cost, and where does the money come from?
The Cost of Achieving that fATPL
Funding For Flying Training
Spend about a week or so reading every single page - take it all with a pinch of salt.
The read the follwoing threads:
What qualifications should you attempt at school/university when looking towards airline sponsorships?
What A-levels (and degree course)?
Should you get a degree, or not?
University or not?
Then come back to us and we will put you in touch with a guy called WWW - Wee Weasley Welshman.
