Hi All,

Forgive me for the severity of the heading but I'm seriously worried about my proposed training path due to the previous DOWNTURN thread.

My Story:

Self funding,31,married, no kids, moving to the UK in April to start full time modular,Wife understanding and willing to move but 'slightly' worried abt current market situation. The funding of this will come from re-mortgaging a rental property to abt 90% of its value.

My question's:

1)Should I wait 6/12mths+ to start. I appreciate I can get the PPL and ATPL theory out of the way before christmas and then review or should I just hold fire completely and wait until the start of '08 ?

2) Should I head for the U.S. instead and do a modular plus F.I. add on to bring me up to 1,000hrs.... Opinions appreciated...

This, ultimately is a decision that WILL affect the rest of my life, please feel free to voice your opinion be it negative or positive.

Thank you and keep up the good work...

T.M.
