Best way to become an Airline Pilot?
Hey everyone, I'm 18 and currently in my last year of six form studying Maths, Systems and English Language. I'm predicted to achieve BBC grades. I have a JAR Class 1 Medical and had 1 hour of PPL training. And my question to you is what is the best way to become an Airline Pilot? I read a lot about CTC wings, OAA and the modular way (PPL, CPL + IR) but I dont know which way is the best for me. I can not afford OAA or CTC wings training as it costs about 60 - 80k pounds. But over 5 years I should be able to afford and complete PPL, CPL with IR.
So I would like to know if I can easily join an airline with an fATPL at about age of 23 - 25. Or is there a way to get a loan for CTC wings/OAA and pay them back once you complete the course and start flying just like Student Finance does with universities.
Any advice? Thank you.
