Thanks
....... for confirming what i pretty much thought. I live in a very remote part of Ireland, no flight schools or airports for 2 hrs drive. I done 20 ish hours when i lived in Cork, but lost my job, moved etc and every day it disheartens me as i want to progress to commercial level. I'm 24, self employed with a v.good income, but can't get credit due to a bad investment yrs ago. I want to be able to train, prob in Spain or somewhere i can hour build fast etc etc. At times i dispair, i feel every yr that passes, is one more wasted. Your story was a breath of fresh air, ie a normal guy pursuing the dream. Patrick
