Hi I'm an Irish 19 year old and I'm want to pursue a career as an airline pilot. I'm currently studying aeronautical engineering at the University of Limerick and have nearly finished first year. I intend to finish my four years here and get a PPL while I'm at it. I intend to go the modular route, take lessons at the National Flight Centre in Weston (supposedly very good) and go from there, hopefully becoming a pilot with Ryanair.
My query is to current ryanair pilots or any irish pilots who have taken this route also (or one like it) and do you have any information or advice for me?
I would like to know about
:
where to get the best and cheapest flight lessons
what qualifications I need after the PPL before getting the CPL and then after that again?
whats the starting pay at ryanair for FO
will there be more jobs in 2013?
I heard that ryanair anf flybe is stopping its expansion in 2013. Does that mean I wont be able to apply even if I'm qualified by then?
And will be degree help with my application in any way? could a degree in arts be just as good?
Thanks
Any help will be appreciated
