JT8,

I think that you have a very valid point. I support your descisions! I am still in my 1st year of college but I am hoping to go the 'scenic' (sposored) route. Best of luck,

One thing that is important to realize, is that being turned down by BA is NOT equal to being rated as NOT suitable as being a pilot.
All it means is that you are not suitable for the BA operation.

Perhaps the type of people that BA prefers, are not the type that you prefer to be, and perhaps the pilots selected, are not the best pilots, but those that BA prefers to mould into those pilots that BA prefers.

If you do it yourself you might always get lucky and end up in an airline that gets put on the bottom of the BA list!(as HW says)

Get out there and get some flying done!

The PPL that I have done and the hours with it are things that I never and will never regret doing! In the process I have learned a lot, progressed my flying career and more importantly met some new people who are now good friends and potential contacts when it comes to finding a job!
