You should! However id recommend you try and go through the RAF, I would have done this after my A levels but already at the start of them I am to tall for their specifications So commercial is the only way I can begin, this is rather expensive Unless you're minted or can gain a sponsorship (read gold dust), you are most likely going to have to fund the whole training yourself which is around £80k. Most people like me do it through a pilot loan which is secured on something like your house (read parents ) and then you pay it off usually when you start flying as a qualified pilot. Once again I sound like im probably putting you off! Im not! If you want any more info on the pilot thing just ask me or pm me Ill be happy to help
