I'm thinking of all the "free" flying once I get my FI Rating . Getting paid to fly will be a bonus as far as i'm concerned .( Think of the alternative as a Private pilot - £100 quid every two weeks to hire an A/C ,then there's the associated costs with licences , medicals and the like ) multiply that by thirty years- hopefully
and i think the twenty grand i'll invest to get my FI rating will be an absolute bargain that will pay for it's self many times over .
