Virgin, Green, Novice - Fool ?
Blimey, wish I'd found this forum months ago.
Need some advice guys and gals. I'm 39 and want to become a CPL(H). I have a class 1 medical booked for next week and hope to start flying in Sept (I have zero hours).
The '39' and the 'zero hours' are a bit of a git obviously, and the medical - well, I'll pass or I won't. The single advantage I do have is access to enough cash to get me through all the training to CPL(H).
I've read with interest the arguments for/against pilot shortages and frankly, my biggest concern is blowing 50 grand and ending up with no heli job (I can't live life as a Project Manager any more)
My general question is should I even bother to start training ? I'd appreciate some 'informed' comment rather than the blurb from flying schools.
(Also, anyone got any tips re. flying schools ? Currently looking at one based at Liverpool Airport).
