I've been reading even more into peoples experiences of a Pilots life which a huge majority have clearly stated its not what its usually perceived as etc, I have taken on board all the bad stuff, read peoples good opinions on it...
I still would love to do this (but not the route now, that I had originally intended, will start with PPL first) is it worth every opportunity that becomes available, to try get into one of for example, Ryanair/Flybe's sponsored courses that offer the job before you start the training for them, (where you fund the first 3 phases, and they bond you to them with the 4th phase) like the one that CitiJet have just closed applications for? (am kinda bawling my guts at having missed applications for that by not even a month :< )
Surely if you can get onto one of them with the guaranteed job, it would make the cost to go on their training program worth it and (if i can go as far to say
perhaps risk free of becoming just another casualty of overspun sales hype, once you become qualified and start working for them?
Is this the golden ticket to getting that big kick-start?
(in the mean time I am looking for jobs in the aviation industry doing anything)
Its definitely in my blood but I am not in the position to make such a decision light heartedly with blind hope and afford to be debt-ridden for the next 4 (or however many it might be) years after course ending due to lack of a Pilots job offer...
many thanks
