11 Months ago I had zero hours in my log book. I gained my PPL last August, took a break and have just started the CPL.
I have been working full time throughout, and believe me, it's tough. Working a 38 hour week, planning Navs AND studying for exams really takes it's toll. Part time would be better, but if money wasn't an issue I'd be a full time student to give the theory the attention it deserves.
Good luck!
