@portsharbourflyer - it's basically a PPL ground studies class with 5 hours flight training so shouldn't be too tricky for the non-Aeronautical student like myself.
I feel like timing with the fluctuating aviation industry is going to be my biggest struggle. I hesitate to say it seems ok, not great, but ok, at the moment, with the odd sponsored scheme floating around and a few airlines hiring for direct entry. Obviously I reckon I'll miss out on a lot of the sponsored schemes after my graduation and then don't want to put lots of money into training which may go stale if the industry isn't great after.
Guess it's just going to have to be a case of waiting until the time is right, but then again, it's hard to forecast when that might be.
Good luck to anyone in the same boat!
