Whilst the Virgin Apprenticeship Scheme looks good, from what I can ake out they are only offering you the A Licence, and then you have to pay for your B1 or B2 Licence (which it appears you would need to get anywhere in this industry).
If I went the apprenticeship route with the degree would I not be allowed to work on planes then as I have no licences?
Whilst I am not choosing this career because of pay (I'm choosing it because I would love to design and work on aircraft), it is still an important factor to take into consideration..
Would a LAE with say a B1 licence earn more than someone working in aircraft with a degree? Or are the jobs you would be undertaking too different to compare?
Thank you everyone for all your help, I've definitely learnt a lot I didn't know about whilst I've been here!
