[Nicey]

Why?

Not all Glaswegians are dodgy.

Most are, though................ to be fair

Follow your dream Kenneth

On some level you yearn for a position related to aviation..!

One of my kids is keen to become a commercial pilot. Does anyone want to lend me £100K or ideally £130k so he can go on and get a type rating?

[EwarWoo]

a type rating?

He'd be better getting a pilots license, being able to type quicker wont help him much.

Work really ****ing hard at school and get on a scholarship programme! Or join the RAF.

Or do something else that he enjoys, earn enough money to join a consortium and timeshare a Cessna or something and fun fly?

I wanted to be a pilot growing up, but mostly because of Battlestar Galactica. At 16, having talked my way into the cockpit on a flight back from Alicante and being allowed to stay for landing, and set the altimeter for the autopilot in response to radio from ground control, the 2 pilots convinced me it was ****, boring job and if I wanted to fly, become a systems analyst and fly for fun.

I wanted to be a pilot growing up. Was one of those nerds who could quote any figure on just about any military plane flying. I started an armed forces course at college when I left school as a way in because my grades weren't good enough.

Lasted about 4 weeks before deciding it would be more fun to get a job so I had money to get pissed with mates. Lol.

****, is that how inaccessible it is?

If you just buy it all, he's young!

Look at the scholarship programmes. Take him gliding or on a microlight course. He could get a PPL for a single engine for £4-6 grand etc. Other ratings, like instruments, night flying, radio, navigation and other types of plane etc can follow in dribs and drabs. This is all gold dust extra curricular stuff when applying for scholarships from BA etc

He will need some grades though Maths and Physics were essential and really want to be getting A's.

It is tough to get into, like Brain Science and Rocket Surgery, its a Blue Chip profession and you want the cream of the crop. Flying need not be too expensive, an hour with instruction is around £100, lots of clubs and schools have very soft finance options too.
