Thankyou for the feedback folks. With regards to the R/T I should be OK as I work in air traffic. My sponsor (my old man) seems rather struck on the idea of me going to america, however wants me to find out if there is any benefit to doing it in England (although I expect it will cost more), obviously he sees it as investing in my fututre which is nice of him, and likewise I don't really want to waste his money. this is really why I am asking. to ask yet another set of questions ( and at the risk of sounding very ignorant) what are the prospects of employment after gaining a ppl (I do realise by the way that I would have to do IR and cpl etc...) IE is it a worthwhile investment with regards to starting a career in aviation (with regards to maybe sponsorship or securing a personal development loan).
I realise I may sound like I don't know an awful lot, however I am serious and figure this is the only way to find out by asking, so please be patient with me.
Thanks once again
