I'm agree with scooby in that a lot of people on here have to sell everything they have, I for one have worked many long hours since the age of 16, wilst getting my a-levels, and a 2.1 from a redbrick, in order to fund my training. I haven't recieved a single penny from anyone for my training, so understandably, people may be quite annoyed about your post.
I will try to be hlpful; ATPLs are not an easy ride, whether your a prince or a pauper, Im finding them quite hard going, and there is far more work included than your average academic year in University (and no, I didnt do a 'mickey mouse' subject).
With 14 exams to complete, a 75% pass rate (comapred to 40% for GCSEs, A-levels, Newcastle University exams), it is not easy.
Putting all your effort into your business as well as your ATPLs will be quite pressurised.
But I would agree with a previous post, and they are very wise words, not just in your career, and that is 'money is not everything'.
And one thing, going back to your quote 'go and get a job stop spunging off your mother and father', without your fathers business it is very doubtful you would be where you are, and if you had started from scratch, instead of running what seems to be some kind of subsidiary, you would not be In business as you are now. So far, without you father's business, you would not be ablse to convince people to 1) Ivest in that business, and 2) Take you seriously. So, not really a fair comment to make.

adwjenk,
Congrats for passing your selection. Could I be so bold as to ask which integrated course your on? I, too, am a serious young wannabe who's looking for a decent integrated course after graduating from uni.
Cheers,

I've ventured in here from the "lion's den" and so glad I did. This thread is most entertaining albeit not quite as professional as the forum title would lead you to believe!
I don't really want to get too involved but Scott, if you have a business which is set to make so much money why are you posting on multiple forums, telling everyone what you are doing, before it's even off the ground? Surely this should be commercially sensitive information? Also to settle the argument of your business (or your dad's) existing, why don't you post the company registration number - which should be publicly available anyway? Additionally, you mention the job of running your own business quite stressful, especially with Man Utd and Chelsea "breathing down your neck", have you thought about less posting and dreaming and more working, as you seem to be a member of quite a few forums. And as for the post I found on another forum "Waterworth Airways" - I think you are maybe in a class of your own!!!
Maybe you should read this

Look, im sick of reading pointless scraps/arguments on here. PPRuNe has become useful up to a certain point, but as soon as somebody reads something they dont like...............its curtains on the professional front.
I think its obvious this thread is not going anywhere, so can we leave it at that.
Que Scroggs, - curtains close, lights dim and music fades away

Paul, i take it you are joking about waterworth airways? .
No response from Scott, think we finaly found out the truth ....... an utter waste of time.
p.s. 40% pass rate for A levels? thats like an E, which wouldnt get you anywhere near a uni. A true pass is 80%+ an A
thanks guys.

Waterworth Airways isnt a joke, www.freewebs.com/waterworthairways
Its a virtual airline for fs, whats the problem?
As of null search at company house, the document where submitted in late November, official launch is Jan, so company house will show us until that date.
As for my company being real or not, as people have said, i WILL give you evidence on January 26th when the legal (limited company)documents come through, as for now, youll have to wait, feel free to keep on bickering.
cheers

Unfortunately, thread reporting is not working just now, which is why this thread hasn't been stopped before now.
Scott, this thread has nothing to do with becoming a pilot - and I don't actually believe your intial post was a serious question; I am convinced your only motive for posting here was to brag about your [potential] future success. I'm sorry, but this is no place for your ego. Be thankful I am not placing this thread in Jet Blast - where you really would be ripped to shreds by experts!
Danny_Manchester, I don't know why you're wasting your time on this individual!
