Ooohh no, I'm the bad guy of pprune again!
Hey,
We can argue the in's and out's but one thing is for sure. Everybody rates hobbies and interests. Put the PPL on your CV it may just give you the edge.
In my job I've got a 100% hit rate. I've never recruited anybody that's not been exceptional and that's what I need. Other places may be more lapse \ understanding etc. That's just what rules I ruthlessly apply.
