Telboy,
At present there is only one sponsorship scheme running (Malgus, this one you have to pay for the priviledge of the selection tests.) Unfortunatly right now there is a huge surplus of pilots, and therefore the airlines have no ambition to allocate expences to these schemes. <img src="frown.gif" border="0">
You will use your maths and physics knowledge a huge amount while training, the closest you will get to a computer for the time being will be a piece of plastic (yes the good old CRP)
Apologies if this sounds blunt but that is how the situation is at the moment.
There are various threads running at the moment check out
Those with fATPL
Good luck
