30 mins of research
I joined this forum as a starry eyed wannabe a few days ago looking to seek advice on how to become a pilot (in my case the earliest is about 2018 after uni). After 30 mins of going through threads, i actually felt a slap in the face. yes recruitment may pick up in 3 years or so (just when easyjet and FR start to slow down), but surely you only have to watch the news (not BALPA's claim of a pilot shortage) to realise that this is a s**t time to throw away £80,000 when there is absolutely nothing afterwards. thankyou PPRuNe for slapping me round the face, and if I do decide to pursue a flying career, ill make sure I have a very (probably more cushy) plan B.
