Hello people...
Some one once said "No Mon, No Fun" and damn, that's true when it comes to the prices of flying!
I am new to this, but I am 16, male from Coventry. I am in first year A Level Maths Physics and Computing...I am realisticly (hopefully) aiming for A's and B's in all of them.
I am going to try to get into aviation through BA's scheme, or a similar part sponsorship, as I hear that AirLingus have stopped all sponsorships for a bit.
I am 17 in July, so I am too young to apply for the scholarships etc..on GAPAN this year, which makes me very http://www.pprune.org/ubb/NonCGI/frown.gif
I decided that I seriously need to get some PPL hours in, as my grand total at the moment is zero! I am going to have a trial lesson in a few weeks, probably at Air Atlantique or similar club, and hope to get some more hours after that. I have very little funds, but have a serious passion for aviation, and can't see myself doing anything else except commercial/corporate pilot in the future! (Commercial first, but corporate sounds really cool, and I love small jets/props...)
Do you live locally, do you have any experience of the clubs at Cov? If so, tell em about it...PLEASE!!!!!
I want to join a sponsored scheme in Summer 2002, so I need to know when and where to apply, especially for BA? Help!
Also, is there any way that I could get lessons at a lower cost? I'm willing to do part time work for a club or something...If anyone has any interesting stories relating to this - PLEASE PLEASE tell me!
So far, I've found the pilots and the general aviation community really helpful towards myself and others in my situation, so you have a reputation to keep up! ;)
Feel free to email me, I'm as easy going as you can get!
Regards,
Mike
