Hi folks,
I was anticipating starting my flight training this summer. Having looked deep into my crystal ball, I feel upon completion jobs for low timers will still be scarce and I'd have to do some instructing to build up experience.
However, I have just been offered a job as a graduate / software engineer designing and developing aircraft flight simulators <img src="smile.gif" border="0"> As an aero eng graduate with great interest in flight sims it is an ideal job, apart from the computer programming element which I'm not too keen on. <img src="frown.gif" border="0">
So what would you advise -
1)Get on the ladder, do the licence starting this summer, and start building the hours so when things DO pick up I'm ready.
or
2)Take the job. Hopefully apply to BA when they start up the TEP again, otherwise start training summer 2003, or when the industry is visibly improving.
BTW, Im 23, PPL, Aero Eng grad, and was about to apply for the BE instructor sponsorship.
Any help appreciated <img src="wink.gif" border="0"> . .JT8
