Don't get your PPL, you'll only be wasting your money when it comes to your CPL/IR. On my course at Oxford Aviation (OAT) we have five pilots with full PPLs and they have only been given a refund for 3 hours flying, despite the fact they have over 80 hours logged
Oh deary me, and these people will be flying us around the skies. It makes me very nervous.
Me, I started flying in 2000, at 31 I think, such a long time ago. Anyway, to cut a long story short, now I have CPL Multi IR...ok, not a JAA one, but an FAA one, but it suits me, I have had offers of work, my Mrs in a yank, and I've probably spend around $40,000 on flying, and had such a laugh.......go for it and good luck!
