Hi and thanks for the prompt reply.
That is a very good point you make, and has prompted me to read my initial posting again.
I think i am prepared for that with no problem at all, but still am not really sure how to go about it.
Just flying any commercial would be great, as at 39 i still have grave doubts about acheiving my goal.
The 747 would be the ultimate, but you are absolutely right.
Thanks again for the advise.
Richard.
