Hi all, thanks for your messages, and thanks for reading.
Just quickly; yes, it does take 8 weeks to get certified on a Boeing 737-800. That's not including the year I did at regular flight school and the three year degree I did prior to that. You could do it in a year, (0 hours to the level required to be eligible to train on an airliner) known as the integrated course. I haven't done that, but I started at 17 and here I am. It's like becoming a Doctor, you do general medicine at university and then you later specialise into another area.
Anyway, I can't really reply in depth at the moment because I've got place to be, but I shall give an update later tonight.
A few weeks ago when I read your comments, especially you, Poetry, I didn't want to agree with them but deep down I knew you were making a lot of sense. Now, it is still making sense but I am now consciously accepting it. I realise that I have a choice...either be not completely happy and content for the rest of my life, or, throw myself out of my comfort zone at a very difficult and inconvenient point in my life, feel like a douche for a few weeks, and then become lonely, depressed etc.
So, the lesser of two evils?!
