Sounds good thanks.
One step at a time

I may be happy with just the ppl.
If however I do go the full hog do many UK airlines take people who are not from ctc, Oxford etc?
Also realistically what can you expect to take home as first officer when you start out?
Not particularly fussed but the trains do pay well, obviously nowhere near a pilot with a good few years under their belt but I understand I'd probably be taking a pay cut when /if I first start out.
