I have 1500 hours with a CPL IR ticket, if I was a freshly minted PPL with a family of six precious ones I’d sign them up for EasyJets frequent flyer program, buy myself a warrior for the first 300hours/3 years to get all the scrapes and bending out of the way and IR done, then move up to a 210, Cirrus Bonanza etc.After 1000 Hours i’d be looking for something that could handle the ice/weather up in the airways and probably upgrade to a BA frequent flyer membership for the family at that time.
