Bio = Luvvie to football manager?

Stick to flying your Bulldog unless you can buy your way into a job which I doubt. Flying for a living and flying for fun are not always the same thing.

Ask yourself why someone would pick you to work for them as a professional pilot of any sort? Unless you can come up with something really special and original I think you are dreaming about a life but one that has a route that is likely to bankrupt you or at least lead you into a serious depression in 18 months time. However if money is no object then go ahead - when you cannot even afford to fly for fun, flying for a living will not be likely to ever happen.

It's a shame but that is just my opinion having spent a few years here watching the wanabe army come and go and recently it has been sad to see the ones falling by the wayside.

Do yourself a favour, dream and fly, you don't have to ruin your life and the risk has not been this high for a long time ...
