I'll back up CraigyD's figures as mine are almost identical, albeit I'm hoping to get CAA PPL for £7k (hopefully with night rating included). All my research suggests this is doable, though I have spoken to a Ryanair FO who went modular and reckons he spent £90k!!! This is including Type Rating (obviously) and also living costs throughout so our route all in for ~£60k which is a bit of a worry. I'm continuing my research as I do my PPL as FTO's tend to be not the people to believe......!!!
