Cheers Portsharbourflying,
I know people say age is not an issue, but when it comes down to me as a 32/34 year old or a 23/24 year old, it's not hard to guess who they would go for.
There were other decisions too, like the airline industry as it stands and whether I could risk spending all that money,and getting no job at the end of it. Maybe i'll change my mind out in Australia,after all it has to be cheaper to fly out there. I still have my PPL too.
