I agree

I'm glad someone came to the same conclusion as mysely. I am currently a B2 Licenced Helicopter Engineer and would love to make the transition to Pilot. The only thing that concerns (apart from the financial implications) me is the job prospects at the end of course. Yes the market is in decline. All is evident from being a Pilot to being an Engineer but I have thankfully never been out of work in my 13 years.

Realistically, are there better ways or schools to use that will give you an advantage? i.e. Oxford seen to have a good reputation, or is it just down to blind perserverance?

I suppose I am advataged in the way as if was to start that I would have something to fall back on but that doesn't alleviate the fears of self funding an £80,000 course.

Just my concerns and ailments, any comments would be useful prior to my making the big jump.

Thanks
