Is there any hope ?
- 27yrs old with a Diploma in Mechanical Engineering ;
- Don't have the capital to do an Ab-Initio Program ;
- Unable to get into Cadet Pilot Programme ;
- Unemployed.
What are my options, is there really hope ?
Any opinions would be appreciative !

If you want to fly for a living...
First of all, do a Class 1 Medical, there isn't much sense in starting planning if you can't pass it.
Secondly, find a job where you can work hard for as many hours as possible (not the standard "8 hours a day") and start saving as hell.
Third, go for the modular route, it's cheaper!!!
Most of all, never give up!!!

Unemployed.
How is it possible to be unemployed with a diploma in mechanical engineering? Maybe i don't understand what "diploma" exactly means in your country and maybe it depends on the country you come from... but being a mechanical engineer myself i know there is plenty of work out there for you

Aged 40 on Thursday just gone
Started modular August 1999
Finished modular September 2005
18 months to get a job
440 hours total when I got that job. Straight onto a 737
A third of my way through line training now on the 737 for well known UK charter company
Dreams do come true.
Stop worrying about it and get on with it.
Be positive, never give up and you will get there
Took me 7 years.
Still a dream to me.
Positive mental attitude
