Hi All,
Thank you for your contributions!
Going for the Class 1 in a few months - hoping to get onto the West Atlantic Cadet 'former fugly' course at Coventry in three years time.
If the Class 1 results in a fail, then I've decided to look at other options:
-Flight ops
-Ground - dispatch/ ramp work
-IT in aviation
-Will consider work for NATS (maybe not as ATCO if fail class 1, does anyone know the requirements for ATSA?)
-Aerial service work ie police, aerial photography etc
-Aviation journalism
-Lastly, I believe commercial work as a balloon pilot only requires a class 2, so that could be an unusual, but maybe fulfilling option! (Still getting paid to fly!)
Keeping my options open!
