Hand-Solo,
Many thanks for the informed and interesting comments - I look forward to flying with you one day at the sharp end.
Re: pilot pay it seems it is very variable from what you write. It also seems impossible to get hold of any indicative salary scales (if only to calm my wife's fears!) so if anyone has a copy they don't mind emailing I'm on

Thanks for the good wishes re: the course and career change. I feel exhilerated and terrified all at once so your words are greatly appreciated.
