Personally I was thinking of doing the whole CPL, ATPL route...
I was once thinking about that until I did some research and found out to my amazement that it would cost me about £50-60K to get qualified for a job that is relatively low-paid!

That wouldn't be so bad, but to really put the tin hat on it it turns out that there are thousands who have actually done this and can't even get even the low-paid flying jobs!

So I'm just doing it for fun. I hope at some point to be able to fly to some business meetings but I'm not kidding myself it will be any faster and certainly not any cheaper than using the car
