I think the Tiger Moth option sounds pretty sexy...!

When I said "proper" I put the quotation marks as I wasn't sure how, as someone interested (in the long term) in commercial aviation, prospective employers would view it (not that it matters, given they'd be interested in future qualifications above the ppl).

If it gives kudos then I'm there

Out of interest (changing the thread slightly), I mentioned that I'm at university and that I don't have any money. This isn't a chance to sound like a poor deprived student (which I'm not!)...but does anyone have any ideas of how someone in my position COULD finance their PPL?

I can't afford much in the way of lessons as my student loan barely covers my debt, and most of my summer is tied to payout off my overdraft and credit card.

I've applied for the GAPAN scholarship, but in the highly likely event that i don't get that are there any opportunities for people to work part time at airfields and get reduced rate lessons, or other opportunities to save money?

In short, how can I get a ppl in the cheapest way possible?

forget the commercial career for now. It's too complicated an issue! All I want is a ppl.

regards,

baz
