Thanks for your advice guys, the reason i was using 'hopefully' and 'eventually' for the commercial rating was that i would only pursue the commercial route if it was finanacially viable for me ie: my other business gave me enough surplus cash.
I guess you do get alot of 'blinded by passion' wannabe pilots but its something ive wanted for a very long time. A friend of mine sold his company in his early forties and is now working for i think Air SouthWest flying Dash 8s.
I guess i best have my first lesson before visions of grandeur creep in at this stage. Ill let you know how my first flight goes.
Cheers
