Advice for becoming a pilot
Hi.
I really want to become a pilot and to be honest I couldn't see myself doing anything else.
I am in my final year in schooland so have to decide what to do after school. Should I go and get a degree in something first or should I just go straight into pilot training after school?
Also, would it be advantageous with regard to airline cadetships if I did my degree in something like aeronautical engineering or does it matter?
I'm just wondering if there are any loan schemed/funding options that would allow someone to go straight to flight school. I know that OAA has the bbva scheme but am I right in saying that this is only open to UK citizens. I'm Irish.
Thanks in advance for any advice
