Pilot Advice

Hi there,

I am a wannabe pilot, hoping to start commence my journey through flight school, however I lack any of the inside knowledge into the industry and just shared experience from other pilots. So after attending Flyer Exhibitions and getting advice from flight schools it seems one of the common things to come out of them is to get pilot contacts, someone who can share experiences, give tips and some guidance. Now this is all well and good but none of these people advised me on where to start with getting these contacts. So my main question here is where would be a good place to start?
I was speaking with some people who said i should approach pilots if ever i see some at an airport terminal but i feel this is the wrong way to go about it as they would not want to stand and chat whilst on there way to a flight. Plus it would look a bit odd!
I think it would help me just to have contact with a real pilot so I could get some advice and hear real life experiences.

Let me know what you all think!

Cheers
