Thanks
Hi Everybody,
Thanks for your advice, I am taking it all on board.
I have tried CTC but failed the final stage - had a shocker of an interview but will go back to them - thanks mfwf (I know who your mate is, also a good mate of mine!).
Someone has given me a contact at Natwest who helped with funding. No security required AND an 18 month repayment holiday (Superpilot). I will be in touch with Natwest in the new year.
I do have a PPL(A) albeit an expired one!
I'm going to take stock of my situation over the Christmas and New Year period and start 2008 with a clear plan of action. It may be that I find a school in Florida and just crack everything there - CPL and ATPL theory (JAA) then back to the UK for the mega-expensive IR! Oh, and MCC and all that jazz...
Thank you for your comments, please feel free to keep them coming guys.
