As for the height issue - Dont shoot the messenger! Im just relaying what i was told!
This doesnt sound so good anymore....So basically you are saying for the better chance you get its worth the effort /time/money to go uni?
I pretty much had consigned myself to joining straight from school, and as i've been looking at courses that might be good for pilot, i've basically seen I'll need to completely restructure what im doing next year if im to go for uni.
But the main thing is: surely if your good enough to be FJ pilot, you will pass the aptitude, leadership tests, interviews, regardless of whether you have a degree... Or are you basically never going to be a FJ pilot if you dont hold a degree?
Oh altough this is pretty much off this topic, does anyone know WTF a vocational A level is??? All the courses im interested in require one of them, and if im to go uni im gonna have to start looking around where i could do one....
