Thanks for the advice. The reason I was contemplating an 'approved' school in the UK was for the contacts that you mention are so important. If I accept their costs, do you know if any of the airlines are likely to take on the 'old' giffer with military background and life experiences rather than the young pups.
I've heard that several navs have been taken on over the years but don't know any personally. Also, no chance of multi time in current location - do manage to get front seat sims but only for fun and never logged.
