Where should I start?
My dream is and has always been, since i first flew on one, to fly the 747s around the world. But now Im ready to take it a step further from a dream to my, hopefully, career. But I dont know where to start out, like flight schools and such. Help would be greatly appriciated. Thanks in advance. Also I have heard that most pilots that are in training use Microsoft Flight Simulator to "practice" is this true and if so should i start playing :P.

iloveplanes,
Microsoft Flight Sim is nothing like flying, as Mark Noble says. However, when you are doing your IR it is an invaluable aid to doing holds, hold entry's and approaches - not for the flying realism, but for working out drift calculations, outbound times, etc. It can save you hundreds of pounds in practise - so I belive it is worth it.
