Well done Whirly - brilliant. That's probably the best way to start if somebody wants to change things.
The remaining obstacle is as discussed before - many or most schools don't like one pinching their "customers" so it's a case of meeting up with existing PPLs who are not attached (via training or self fly hire business) to any existing organisation. I know I keep going back to the negatives but in some situations there are plenty of them... I couldn't do this openly where I am based - taking up even the most hypothetical self fly hire customer of a certain company could easily result in my hangar space being "cancelled"
