Hey
Im 25 and just finished my degree in business and management. I have always wanted to fly, however the RAF told me to bugger off as I do not have perfect vision (but i dont need glasses). In a nutshell, I want to take the plunge and become a professional pilot. I would much rather try and fail than get to 40 having never tried. I hate regret. Anyway, the problem is, as with every one else funding. I dont have £60,000 for a deposit, however Its not outwith the realm of impossibility that, I will be able to go modular through a training school in Glasow, doing my PPL initially then onwards. I can fund this through a full time job ( even if it means saving for like 6 years, so be it ) This way I can save and go as I can afford. My question is:
Does this type of modular route have any MAJOR setbacks, compared to say going to CTC wings and doing an integrated course? Does it cut your job options down to zero? Or would it simply be better to save and get a loan, and complete an integrated course?
Any help with this issue and and funding advice would be most appreciated!
Thanks
