Hi all,
I've recently joined this forum and was quite dismayed to find that most threads lean towards airlines and earning large amounts of money (everyone to their own). However after reading this thread its cheered me up knowing that airlines are not the only way to enjoy flying and earn something at the same time.
I'm just about to leave the British Army after 22 yrs and am really not interested in carrying on working in the IT world. I've always wanted to do my PPL but "other" things got in the way, my wife hinted maybe now would be the time to do my PPL & CPL, move to some where nice (Canada for example) and get a flying job to buffer my pension.
After spending a great deal of time researching whats required to achieve my dream, I have found myself so wrapped up "hours here" and "hours there" that I don't know whether I am coming or going
All I want is to fly one of the above mentioned jobs in this thread, I'm not interested in airlines, heavy transport etc and I now get the impression I have to be licenced up to the hilt and fork out a fortune to achieve it.
I would be greatfull if some one could let me know how I go from zero to light tsp, small pax or sight seeing trips etc, how much I'm looking to spend approx and a out lying time frame.
If this has been asked/answered in any other thread, then I appologise, I havn't found it yet.
Many thanks
