I understand that it's hard work but it's the only possible way unless I get a load of cash somehow. The other thing is that I'd like to get a PPL just because I enjoy flying. I've already got a fixed wing PPL but had a trial Helicopter flight and found it much more enjoyable than any other flight I'd had. The reason I want to keep my job is that I may decide not to go for the CPL but I definitely want to fly in some capacity. I just figured that if I flew for pleasure for quite a few years I'd end up building up a substantial number of hours and could start thinking about taking the CPL exams.
Does anyone know if there are flight schools that take on instructors to just work at the weekends? Just a thought.
I want to keep my job because I don't want to go for ithe flying career, fail and be left with no job, no career, worthless or no license and no money.
