i didnt know you had to be 21 before you could hold an ATPL
Im 16 and training part time, will continue to do so thorugh college, and if there is no jobs in this country when I get the cpl/ir frz atpl (thats when Im 19/20), i will have to consider working abroad, probably in my home country to build hours. Two pilots working for a very decent airline back home (in bangladesh where i come from)
told my dad ( he met by absolute conincidence in his office, they were on holiday) that their airline is actually looking for pilots with bangladeshi background but has trained abroad and has very good english...now that fits me perfectly
but hopefully, Ill get the perfect job in the UK
lets just hope bush doesnt strike Iraq
oh and tom_higginson,
if ur really 17, why dont you do your A-Levels or some other course in college (im asuming ur streight out from school), you really want something to fall back on. Nothing is guranteed.
best of luck.
