so, yet another post moaning about forecasts by the ever optomistic economists and FTO's telling me by the time ive finished training there will be a job waiting for me! Yeah, right.
Rather than listening to FTO's assuring me my hard earned cash ( around 80k) will secure me a job i decided to come here to get an opinion which isnt clouded by the fact they want their new porsche.
I decided to get my PPL at 16 and passed all my exams and in march i passed my check. With the licence issued im feeling incredible and want to take the plunge into the commercial life as ive always dreamed of.
GCSE: 5A* 4A 1B A* in physics & maths btw.
A level- 3A* A ( yes i know A*, introduced this year)A* in maths here.
50 hours TT with bronze gliding award, part 3 completed in the RAF and corporal rank. Yeah, i kinda like flying.
NO UNIVERSITY DEGREE!! I'm really not into going to UNI, yet more money to spend and another 3 years away from my sheepskin seat in the 737
Im looking for an honest opinion here, is it worth me going into flight training ? I would like to become a pilot, infact love! But if i am coming out of training with a huge debt, no TR, below 500 hours TT and with no chance of getting a job infront of all the FAR more experience pilots i really cant see the point in training.
Many thanks for any help, Regards,
PPLpliot.
