tinstaffa, give the bloke a break,how many times do you look at the other forums, i know i don't he just wants some advice.
Go for it but don't do it for the money or the glory cause there ain't alot to be had,99% of pilots started on their way because of a love of flying and terms and conditions compared to other industries didn't come into it, make no mistake flying for a living bears no resemblance to having fun in a pa28 - the choice is yours but if you really want it don't even worry about the current market - unless your a baron you ain't gonna be in it for a few years.
