Apologies if this has been discussed before, but here goes...
I'm a 31-year-old PPL holder (60hrs TT), married with a mortgage and for some daft reason I'm considering going for an fATPL(IR).
I'll almost certainly go down the modular route, expecting to spend £30-35k in total, which I'm working on finding, but my question is this...
How do I pay the mortgage in the meantime?
Assuming my first step is the ATPL writtens by distance learning, how long will it realistically take, assuming I take on a part-time job too? How many hours of study should I expect to do per day, assuming I want to spend no more than one year at it?
Once into hours-building and ME/CPL/IR/MCC courses, is it still realistic to work in between modules, just to keep some money coming in?
Has anyone tried this (training and working at the same time)? How did you get on? How long did it take from PPL - fATPL(IR)?
Final question - any suggestions for flexible, part time/full time jobs that pay a decent hourly rate (keep it legal!)
I know its a lot to ask, but I'd be interested in your thoughts...
