How many people are prepared to commit to that?
...so how did the PPLs that taught me and bose-x commit to it 25 years ago when flying was even more expensive than it is now?
My PPL cost me £30 per hour when I was earning about £4k pa. The same job I was doing then pays £30k+ now, say almost 8 times. The most expensive school in the country is relatively cheaper than the 'self-help' group with unpaid volunteers I learned with was then. I'm sure FI courses were relatively just as expensive and time-consuming then as now...
