Falling GBP v USD affecting your plans?

I'm getting really frustrated at the fact that the '£' is worth less and less these days and if it falls much more I'll have re-think my training plans.



Example.

PPL with FlyEaa is around $10,000 + 4 or 5 weeks accommodation, flights and living expenses.

3 months ago this was £5,000 + the extras. Today it's £6,500 + extras and it's not looking to rosy for the future either.

I'm now contemplating doing a JAA PPL with Highland (Cheap at £4,600 or Cardiff as it's a stones throw away) as it'll be the same price (without the added benefit of a NR of course).

Anybody else feeling frustrated having planed to do their training on the other side of the pond?
