If you have the aptitude, resource and luck.

1. Apply to join a full time integrated course of training with a programme that is affilated to a number of airlines.

2. Work hard, putting in the necessary effort and determination for the next 16 months.

3. Get placement flying Airbus A320 for 6-8 months.

4. Get offer of part or full time contract on conclusion of placement.

Time from start to finish a little over 2 years!


Just as with every other route, I am afraid there is no guarantee of anything. Timing and luck needs to be very much on your side. This is what I am watching happen now. It might not be the case in 6 months time. It might be better or it might be worse. As it says underneath this forums title: Do ya feel lucky, Punk? Well do ya?

The problem with statistics is I suspect a bit like mapping a beach. There isn't much to be gained because the landscape changes with every tide. If you know where you want to go, and you have the resources (not just the money) to get there, then there are various routes you might follow. Some will prove better than others.
