Wow, wasn't expecting a detailed answer like that! I would go head on towards the medical if I had the money. I'll have to find a job but the GAPAN tests and the medical were on my list in order, but I was thinking after that.
from your post I take Cathay Pacific to be the best option for me after hour building. Talking about PPL, should I enroll onto a PPL course or just pay as you go hourly?
I'm confused a bit about the modular and integrated. I have studied this forum a lot and searched, but the amount of meanings of what modular and integrated is goes on and on. Does modular and integrated go towards a CPL? and how long does a modular take compared to a integrated and how much are we looking at for each? (average)
thanks for your patience
adding onto this, what airlines around the world apart from CX and BE are sponsoring pilots?
I'm also deciding on going and doing aviation engineering with commercial pilot studies at brunel but not sure if that is the route I should take
