Hello rudestuff, I am 23 years old, currently living in Portugal and also an EU citizen. I have read several of your posts and was very touched by your ideas. However, I noticed that you focus more on the UK regarding ATPL training, or going to the US to get your PPL and CFI because it is cheaper. However, since I work as an A1 mechanic in a European airline, I intend to get my training here, because maybe my dad can give me some seed money, €20-30k, but the rest will be fully financed by me via loan. Can you clarify for me what would be the ideal way to get my training here? The flight hours if I rent a Cessna 152 with fuel on my own are around €80/h (without landing fees, usually 4€ for Cascais/Lisbon aerodromes) without an instructor. While the schools charge an absurd amount... I also can't understand why a SEIR costs €20k, but I have to sit down with the various schools and find the best prices. Maybe, but really maybe, in these cases I could go to Spain, Poland, Greece... wherever is cheaper and on my vacations. What is your recommendation? Best regards and many thanks mate!
