Tango and Contract,

Could not have said it better myself. Although I can not comment on the CPL I can comment on the PPL as I've done both JAA and SA licences. Although the JAA was more difficult I found the SA ppl to be far more practicle...........and a lot more fun if Im perfectly honest as our syllabus is less confining. I love a challenge while Im in the cockpit and things like low flying and landing in bush strips is more my cup of tea than how many miles I have to go untill I get to the next NDB. I will go out on a limb here and say that if I was a "real pilot" I would much prefer a co jo that has already cut his teeth then somebody who is a low houred wonder jock. But then I've never wanted to push buttons for a living.
