Hi thanks for your reply Scroggs,. .I think the best course of action is to take A levels then apply for an airline training then if no luck (probable) go on to a degree then re-apply. if no luck again then think about the £50k plunge.. .Two more questions ... .If I end up funding my son for the 'oxford' course what are the chances of finding employment straight away and do airlines favour newly trained or experienced pilots.. .2. if a pilot is made redundant does he have to keep up his air hours and can this be in a light aircraft or does it have to be a large one. and isnt this v expensive? (sorry for my lack of knowledge this is my sons career not mine). .cheers mrc
