Hi,
Im a college wannabe doing A-Levels and also PPL at the weekends.
At the moment I am doing AS Physics, Electronics, Geogrophy and English Literature. Like a lot of people here, I have been a very keen wannabe since a very young age.
Being in a very fortunate position where my dad would possibly finance my training, I am planning to do my ATPLs streight after I finish my A2's, which gives full A-Levels (2004). After I get my commercial pilot license (2006) I plan to get a flying job but if this is not possible (perheps bush is plannig more wars) I intend to go back home and fly regionally, turboprops/small jets to build some valuable experience.
About the degree issue: having spoken to a senior teacher at college, I have fallen in a bit of concern if I will be taking the right decision not taking a degree. She said she knows a friend who is also a pilot and working for an airline, he recently went back to uni to get himself a degree. She didnt give any specific reason.
Having a degree is oboviously very useful, but I just cant wait that long
what do you think?
this is why i am asking for your advise.
I would be greatful for your replies.
