Either way ur dream is screwed!
GA or Airlines it does not matter, being a pilot is a dull underpaid job for a bright person full of potential in many other areas.
If you have some brains stay well clear of this profession all together!
I meant that!
Bottom line is if you are really passionate about flying, work hard at uni don't mess about. Get a good qualification and a feel for your strengths. Go and build a solid career one that you can amend where you see fit.
In your spare time do a Paragliding course that is real flying, later on when u have enough money buy a microlight or a home built or a light Cessna.
Then you set, and have full control on your life and get to fly when the weather is nice with whom ever you want on your J/S.
Think out the box guys! The accountants are destroying this career and milking it dry. It is very hard to change course once you committed to this career.
So plan your life correctly 1st time! Think loooonnng term..
But in the near future we piloys may be in for slight improvement, but it want last long since the next doom & gloom won't be far off. Ready for the bankers to coin it again & tighten the noose once again.
Can't beat them join them! But stay away if you can.
