Thanks for the advise, sorry for being ignorant but whats a PFA aircraft? Would anyone let me into a syndicate, or would I get insured as a 45 hour 18 year old kid? I cannot imagine someone letting me have a share in a plane so young. Also, I am going to Uni in september and I am waiting to see if I have been succesfull in obtaining a PPL scholorship (it looks doubtfull, only 6 places!!!) so IF I am succesfull in getting the scholorship I wouold be ready to start hour building during uni, were would I go to get into a syndicate? Lastly I would still want to apply for airline sponsorship if and when it makes a comeback (with BA for example) what level of experience would reduce my chances of being excepted?
