Thank you for your detailed reply. I have considered SE PPL instructing but to be honest the thought of hanging around a flying club all day in the hope of earning enough to pay the petrol to get there is quite depressing !!! Also after flying twins for my last year the idea of flying singles is also less appealing.
As for currency I would be happy to renew all my own tickets. In practice I would prefer to only work on six month contracts but I am not sure if potential employers would go for this.
The bottom line is that I don´t have to work, but it would be nice if possible. In an ideal world I would fly for six months then sail my yacht the other six (which is what I am doing right now).
Having worked my way up through the industry I do not want to become a hobby pilot. I realise that there are pilots out there who need the jobs and I have no wish to take work from them. If work is out there then I will do a fair days work for a fair days pay. I have invested a lot of time and money in my licensing and if the only work available is the old ten pound an hour twice a day stuff then I am not interested. I know this sounds aggresive but I have been there and done that (when I had no choice)
So there we are then, I am probably asking way too much! but you never know............
Cheers
