wow it's great to see this thread is gathering some momentum! Some really good advice here, the best bit was about working the graveyard shift!
Potate - You are right and time is on my side but I am 26 so in the not too distant future I think it might be time to earn some money, not a lot but enough to buy my girlfriend a Christmas present or two! I have worked for ten years as a carpet fitter so I do have some customer orientated industry knowledge behind me. Anyway I am now looking for a part time job at an airport, if anybody hears of anything at any Yorkshire based airport please send me a pm.
I don't know if anyone noticed but there is a newsletter sign up for pilotcareernews at the bottom of the pilot training exhibitions website. I have yet to receive anything from them but it may be good stuff.
I found a tonne of websites through Balpas website which I am starting to make my way through. It is amazing the sheer volume of information you can find when you start to really look.
Thanks for everyone's comments and advice. Please keep it coming
