Thanks for the tips but no I have never considered any kind of tagged scheme. Firstly I'm probably too old and secondly I wasted my education when I wad young and foolish. But not only this I have no interest in a scheme where you graduate without even a PPL to your name. I love flying and aircraft too much to waste £100,000 that confines me to one type/airline/no pay cheque. Equally I don't think there is one particular type of person who is a "good" pilot that will show up in an "Aptitude Test". I think if you have a passion for aviation,are a reasonably nice person, the intelligence for 2 A levels (not exactly a high bar, lets be honest) and a way to get the golden ticket at minimal cost then you stand a good chance of flying for a career.
If those kind of people exist then good on them, they have almost no chance of finding a job, doesn't take away my place in the future.
