Useful to volunteer at Manchester?
Hi, first post, but would appreciate any help here.
I'm 17 and at college and this spring applied for the GAPAN PPL scholarship under the proviso that it's open to people my age and over. I've just got the 1 hour flying experience at the moment.
I made it down to the last 50, and I've thought about how to improve my chances for next year. I live right next to Manchester Airport and am trying to find out if there are any flying schools/academies operating there now, which I could volunteer some time at over the summer to get some experience to credit my application with.
First of all is this worthwhile doing or would I be better served doing something else?
And secondly are there any appropriate places at Manchester?
Or if there's any other advice from anyone, naturally that would be great.
Thanks
Ben
(p.s. Is it true BA are going to be offering cadetships in around 18 months2despite their £200million losses?)
