Oh really? Well yeah you've got to start small anyway like ryanair/easyjet/thomas cook because Emirates and bigger airlines only take experienced pilots - but thanks for the advice haha!
I'm going into uni to do engineering first though as a back up

Well actually several of the bigger airlines have agreements with training providers to train co-pilots from scratch on a320's. I met another guy who was about 3 months away from starting with BA. I was kinda jealous haha

Haha where did you meet all these pilots?
But yes I am aware of these programmes and hope to apply after i finish uni. I can't think of a better job than becoming a pilot tbh... salaries are amazing and you essentially get paid to go on holiday!
You should consider it
Or do you have other plans?Original post by EmiratesCaptain

Or do you have other plans?Have you looked into the pilot training scheme at Cathay's Airways? I think they pay you and fully sponsor your flight education. it's supposedly very competitive mind.

Emirates. I was born in Dubai so it's tradition in my family whenever we go back. Other than whatever is available on short notice.
Ryanair nothing more luxurious

Singapore definitely (but they're too expensive nowadays)
I have flown mostly with Singapore Airlines all my life and I have to say they are by far the best. The crew are always so friendly and even for aeroplane food - it's quite okay actually! Have to agree on the price front, but then again I scream at the prices of ketchup these days let alone flights, although I would much rather pay more for quality.

Malasia is the best out of the carriers I have flown with.
They're screwed now though they're firing huge numbers of staff and their reputation has been blown to pieces ironically enough exactly like and because of their last incident, thanks ukraine...

Emirates, Virgin Atlantic, and Etihad are all great but British Airways are 1st for me without a doubt... they have great customer service
Virgin and BA ... evil buggers Virgin made me wait 13 hours for a flight which was 2nd rate at best and BA need to invest in cleaners for their flights haha Virgin Australia is pretty good though

Singapore Airlines definitely, although I haven't flown with Emirates or Etihad so I can't really compare
I like to fly with BA.
Other airlines which I've had good experiences with are: SAS (they're always very good with customer service)
Lufthansa - but haven't flown with them in a while; so they might've changed.
Air NZ is good for long distance.
------
Airlines I hate.
Ryanair - yucky; but I can't refuse £20 return flights to visit relatives whenever I want. Lol.
United - had a bad experience with them.
Air France - mehhhhhhh.
Thomson - mehhhhhh.
Easy Jet - mehhhhhhhh.
And lastly; although I've never flown with American Airlines, I don't think I ever will, after hearing the racism passengers face.

I've only ever flown with EasyJet and Ryanair. In terms of crew, my experience with Ryanair was the best and in terms on comfort and the plane itself, Easyjet were better so would say overall Easyjet were the best airline I've flown with. I didn't feel like trapped cattle in their plane like I did with Ryanair.
