polax52 makes a good point

I have been flying for 24 years and I remember when I got my PPL (in 1986) guys on my course went onto CPL right away and landed very good jobs. The pay was good and they weren't flying much (50 hrs/month). Things in the last 10 years in particular have changed and this profession isn't really worth all the effort and sacrifice.

It's probably better to fly as a hobby and maybe buy a share in a Very Light Jet and fly when you want, with who you want, to where you want at what time you want!
