Can anyone add to these routes which seem to be the ONLY way of ever becoming a commercial pilot without having £40,000 lose change (or a rich daddy)??
1) Join The RAF/Navy
2) Work in a Office/Shop etc etc and pay £100 a week for the PPL then CPL then....blah blah blah for lessons for the next 100 years
3) Apply for the HSBC loan with a Career Development loan
4) Get a job as an Aircraft Engineer, be it at an Airline or Flight School (will this lead on to flying though?)
5) Malgus
6) Hold your breath for Full Sponsorship (Maybe in 50 years)
7) Rob a bank
8) Lottery
Seriously now, are there any Grants or Charities for less priviliged kids like me? Surely there is, but would anyone tell?
Any other routes in are welcomed to post, but I think from my research that I've got it covered.
Does anyone think a degree in Aircraft Engineering is relevant to becoming a Pilot? worth doing?
The Force is strong, but how many Nm?
