Very funny,iv just been offered a non pilot job in NZ, that is a skilled one so i qualify for a "talent" visa. I was doing my PPL in the uk but have decided to nock it on the head until i get to nz as flying is much cheeper(i believe its about $200 against £135+) After 2 years Ill qualify for residence and 5 years citizenship.

I have a long term goal of going all the way to my ATPL, basically get my PPL, build hours and aim to CPL/IR. Step it up in 4 years to nz atpl. its a plan that can work for me but im lucky as I have another job that pays enough and also gives me the time to fly while working.

down side is i think i might have to buy all new theory books again, not sure what they will say about the exams i have to take out there.

Dont suppose this is that much help but while where talking about it just thought id add my 2 cents.
