Rossco,
At my FB at BA a couple of years ago the pilot asked "do you have any flying experience?"
"No"
"No, not even a trial lesson???"
"no, I didn't know that was possible!"
No need to say that at that point when he glanced across at the lady from Human Resources it was going to be a "we regret" through the post.
Go start flying but do not break tha bank by trying to get too much flying done.
On the downside, if had in excess of say 20 hours then they could start ascking you some tricky technical questions - I'd rather talk about my hobbies thank you very much.
