Well, It's been a while since I started this thread and it seems it has gained a lot of interest. I've done much more research and had to think rationally about the situation. I've been speaking to one of my friends who was actually the youngest F/O in the United Kingdom at one point. He used the CTC Wings cadet program (which I know is kind of frowned upon by those old school pilots). The actually program looks very attractive in my eye, which is the reason I have applied to start the course. Although you may say "It's a wast of money to throw yourself into a course, get less than average training, be put in a holding pool for over a year then be thrown into a budget airline position which is most likely going to be EasyJet."
Well at this present time I'd be happy to take any position within any reasonable airline. If I am successful through out all the stages, well that's great - goal accomplished. If not, it's only the beginning of a journey to get to where I want to be. I've grew out of the mind set of "if I don't get that it's the end of the world", which was a terrible attitude to have when I looked back at it.
