Helloo flying people
I'm Ciarian, 24 yr old guy who currently works on large generator engines......recently the lockdown has got me thinking about my life, the things I want to do, my career, etc. I've always had a keen interest in flying and often play flight sim games on PC and console and I've always wanted to be a fighter pilot, unfortunately, my eyesight does not allow that but another route to making a career flying is becoming an airline pilot!
Now my research the past few months has lead me to the realization that an Integrated course is far too expensive for me and pretty much impossible. I don't have a house or 100k+ to secure any sort of loan against...Nor can I afford to give up work for 2 years. However, my job now pays a decent wage and I think I could manage a modular route. I don't mind spending longer working towards a goal and even if I gave up halfway I've gained some pretty cool skills
Also during my googling, I've found many pages detailing modular routes but some mention courses and ratings that others do not. My question for you guys is what would be a definitive path/timeline to a frozen ATPL modular style (course ratings etc). ATPL Theory for me would have to be done at distance learning to allow me to maintain full-time work. Any recommendations for flight schools to do said courses would be great (i live in a small town near Leicester).
thank you in advance for the help
