my advice: donīt do it!
study something in the meantime, get other qualifications and donīt get depended on a pilot job. On the same time be current with your licence.
Airlines are suffering, check & medicals are to be passed for years and then to work for such a outfit like Ryanair with so poor working conditions and treatment. Even if you have hours, the markets now to go are China and Middle East like Emmirates is the same like Ryanair just painted in golden colors.
Itīs a spiral down, with no botton end.
I was also young, always wanted to become a pilot. I have worked hard for it.
But i never invested in paying what i considered airlines to pay for. I could not even afford it. Being sponsored from a bankrupt airlines maybe i was lucky, but even then, i cannot recommend this job to anyone anymore with good conscious.
We should make people aware: STOP paying for what airlines are supposed to pay!
