Hi Liam, Im in a similar situation to you also post PPL, with just over 100 hours SEP, working towards Frozen ATPL in the longrun. I work fulltime, and like the other peeps will be hour building and gaining background reading on ATPLs, but not rushing to sit the exams until nearer my CPL course!
Not much advice I know, but nice to know people in similar positions. Having spoke to a colleague who is nearing the end of his training, he feels as most do, the best place to be in a recession is in training!
