... I found that out during my PPL. Having a job that relied upon the weather didn't help either.
I heard from a certain individual that it's taking weeks to just get the odd few hours in while doing his CPL, so not exactly pleasant info.
I think that getting your flight training done with a company that provides international flying might be the answer, unless one can get the whole flying aspect done in any "window" of weather here in the UK.
