Hi again B,
I should emphasise I have no stats to back up my perception about those who had done little else before training and job success but from your last post you won't be in that bracket anyway! The guys I am thinking about did A levels and then came straight on to a CPL/IR course having never even done a trial flight or much else...and they'd just signed up for a £60k flying course!
Plus, there were those who did go straight from school to flying training to jobs with top UK airlines.
Don't worry too much about slow progress - took me 2 years to get the PPL as I was on pretty measly money at the time!
Good luck with BA FPP.
