Interesting post Jd10k!! I shall be watching this with interest.

I am 29 and had a shot some years ago, getting as far as PPL before running out of financial options due to death in the family, etc.

I am now seriously considering having another shot at getting into the world of commercial aviation, as I have yet to find any other job which holds any real interest. I had thought of going the Cargo or bizjet route.

A couple of questions to add to the above:

What are the minimum qualifications I would need to achieve in order to start looking for work in commercial aviation? Would a CPL/IR/Multi count for a hill of beans?

What sort of cost am I looking at from my current (lapsed PPL)?

I know this may all sound a little vague, but look forward to some illuminating responses!

jd, hope you don't mind me coat-tailing your post...
