Cheers for all the replies peeps. I guess my question was a bit vague but thanx to you all for clarifing matters. I am looking into doing a PPL(A) course sometime in the future just for the sheer hell of it. A professional career is probably beyond me now (age, family, settled career etc) but I would still love to fly just for pure fun and to take the family for a spin now and again. Found some good info too on PPL mania.
