I know of only two people who approached RAF flying training with a, "let's do it for the s**ts n giggles, then get out and do something better" attitude.

One of them was sussed during IOT and given the boot, the other did a bit of fast jet work, left, and subsequently came a cropper in a flying accident of his own creation.

If your post is a considered action of a thoughtful, intelligent young man, well done for generating so many helpful replies. I'm sure you will reach the right decision.

If on the other hand, there is a certain arrogance and over-valued self worth in play here, do yourself a favour and stay away from piloting aircraft of any kind.

Those qualities don't play well in aviation.
