Thanks guys for taking the time to answer my questions. I must say that I'm impressed with the help. It's rare to find on Wanabees any thread that doesn't have someone flaming someone else, or catty remarks about spelling when one asks perhaps, stupid questions.
I must say that my limited time of working at the M3 facility means that I will either have to attend a full time course or go back to helping with the maintance guys for another 18 months. I don't know if they even have any work available come to that. The full time course seems to be as expensive as my CPL training.
No, I have thought about this and I think that I will look into concentrating on that side of things when (one day) I finish my CPL training. I can't afford the amounts required for both. Much better to concentrate on getting the flying out of the way first and then seeing if I can enrole on an engineering course at a later date, as I think it'll be a few years yet before the Pilot job market picks up again. I am sure that to hold an A & P will complement flying though as the kind of flying I would like to do (small aircraft in dusty backwaters) means that the ability to maintain your own aircraft would be desirable
Thanks for your suggestions and input, Bill
