Getting a PPL for now
I'm halfway through a 4 year engineering degree and originally disregarded the career choice of aviation until after i graduate when I would reassess my options. Choosing a degree instead of flying was nothing to do with drive - it was more a combination of funds and the fact that I would always be able to go back to flying with the addition of a maths/physics degree behind me.
Coming into the summer break, I now have enough money (and time) to gain my PPL. As well as for recreation, it will allow me to confirm whether to go on with my training in a modular fashion after graduation.
The question is - once the PPL has been gained, should training stay quite regular? I read somewhere that building up too many hours on your own may be unattractive to employers as they fear that too many bad habits may be picked up. If that is the case, would it be better to postpone the PPL training for perhaps a year or two?
Many thanks
