Quick intro and 1st question
Thanks all for the responses.
Tech_log - no it's not for the essay for the B license, it's for one of the units on the HNC called electrical systems. Funny you mentioned BA, my younger brother has just started his second year with them.
Terry - thanks for the advice, I do plan on finishing the apprenticeship, would seem a waste of time and a lot of money, mainly in fuel and car maintenance if I didn't finish it.
VHT - thanks for the link and info, I will defo check it out tomorrow when I'm abit more alert. How are you finding your studies?? I said the unrealistic and unachievable comment based on the fact I only know 2 routes into commercial piloting, private which is 80k without a guarantee of a job and the 2nd is through a scholarship which to be honest looking at the standard of applicants I doubt I would get, don't get me wrong, I will still apply if I ever see the vacancies. I also said it because of my current personal circumstances. Would make it very very difficult or near impossible to do this for what seems the near future so I've kinda given up.
Munster - don't get me wrong mate, I would happily be a LAE, I like the fact that it will challenge me daily and make me need to think and problem solve, that's the kinda guy I am, often describe as abit of a geek. I took the apprenticeship of false pretenses and was kinda mislead meaning I turned down a lot of places to do it, only to be told I was now going to do something else. Was kinda annoyed but it was too late and tbh it worked out ok in the end. The money is not the biggest factor for me when I want to be a pilot, and Ryanair would not be my choice, if wanna do long haul, having grown up with a good few pilots in the extended family and friends it just really appealed to me and I think that's just stayed with me since I was young.
