Welcome and great that you want to be a pilot.

Although it's great to have your Dad pay for your PPL, I think you should pay it yourself.

Then when you've struggled and saved and flown and worked hard and saved and flown and eventually end up where you want to be, you'll really appreciate it.

There's nothing worse than young people in the business today whining about pay and conditions and so on, when they've never actually had to get by with a real job.

Good Luck,

PS. My father made me pay, only very occasionally splitting the cost of a flight if it meant I didn't have to wait four months to have enough to do a two hour cross country.
