Just a thought as I was told a few days ago that my cousins husband who is a BA captain, was getting his PPL again.
Is it not the case that each license supercedes the previous one? I was under the impression that if you had a current CPL, then you also had a current PPL by default. Am I being hopelessy naive?

As for the topic in question, i've had my PPL for over a year and have done about 5 hours flying with it. The main reason being that I am a student and flying is expensive. I don't have sufficient means to fly regularly and it seems a waste of money to fly with an instructor to get current and then let it go again. My aim is to earn enough money so that I can start Aeros training this year. The only thing is I really want to have lots of other qualifications like IMC and night, but my aim is to go for an ATPL, so I don't want to pay for things that I may have a chance of getting for 'free' later on (if I can get into CTC, for example).
