cheers all, nice to hear from like minded thirty-somethings!
FTO research on-going, might be opening a can of worms but any suggestions?
Have excluded UK because want to get abroad for a while. Already booked winter in Oz to do PPL. Was looking at 12 month ATPL course there but seems long-winded and expensive to convert to JAA! So thinking either AAA in San Diego (JAA approved but will need 15 hr IR Con) or Aerofan on Madrid (JAA and 6month inc. ATPL from PPL level-seems damn quick and only £17k with MCC A320!!??)
Would most likely return to UK for JOC and unsure on paying for Type Rating yet??
