Hi SFIM,
Thanks for your message, I agree, I didnt want to bore everyone with the details but I am probably going to fail on colour when I the class one, so any work I manage to get will only be day light survey or lifting and instructing but im not keen on the latter, so it seems like there really is no point in spending the extra time effort and money on the ATPL, but yes I agree in most circumstances anyone wanting to become professional pilot would want to do a ATPL I would but there really seems no point.
Kind regards.
