Hi there people.

Many thanks for your help. Your comments have helped me.

It sounds to me as though, the work load can depend on what company you work for. (would be interested what companies you's work for if anyone wants to PM me!)

My girl friend is supportive but we both dont know what sort of future will lie ahead for us if i decide to move into a pilot career. I think on the trust side of things it wouldnt be a problem, it just all the time being apart that i feel might be a concern.

I am in the situation where i am still living at home, i am 25, have no means of getting a house. But i am looking at obtaining a large loan (£25k) to help fund a fATPL course. Which could mean i will still be at home for a while!

Does cargo work have the same work load as passenger?
Does anyone know if there is a very signifcant pay difference between these job functions?

If anyone else has any other info on work life as a pilot, that would be great!

Regards
James
