I am going modular. I have an airfield within an hour of me that can do everything bar CPL. I have my Class 1 medical 1st August then will hope to get my PPL done before the winter comes which is when I will do my theory. As I am in the East Midlands availability is great so should be able to just crack on. I only work 3.5 days a week so should be able to basically do it full time.
When I need to do my CPL I will try and do it at one of the big places to get it all checked off in one go using all my holidays. In fact if it is true and these places are struggling to get pilots through the gates it might even help me get in as I would have done all the leg work bar the CPL.
