Ok, at the risk of being shot down and called stupido I am going to ask a question. Does the UK offer any 'Pilot Shadowing' opportunities? Before anyone asks, yes I do know what a pilot does, but I believe the US offers these ops and would like to pursue this route. I do work at the moment and have a full security check but not sure what else I need to do, if indeed the UK offers such opportunities - im pretty sure it doesnt but worth an ask anyway.
