peppl - Firstly, let me say that I applaud your courage in coninuing to try and find an answer and other possible routes.
A mate of mine got knocked back on his class one a few years ago, and obviously he was gutted. We talked about it, and he made the decision that he would stay in aviation, and he has. He still flies privately with his class 2 and is happy as larry.
Im not saying that it didnt hurt him to give up his dream - it did - but it also gave him another great opportunity to go ahead with something else within the aviation field.
Just thought Id give you a view on what someone else in your position decided to do.
