Hello forum.....first post so don't bite....please.
I am in the fortunate position of having quite a substantial amount of savings. Enough to ALMOST be able to pay for a full Ab-initio course from some of the well established trainers....no names mentioned I presume....but the costings involved are in the region of approx £60000 (I would still have to secure a small loan as well however).
I am in a pretty good job that I could take a career break to do the training and so after training I could go back to my original job. Obviously from that point on would then be looking for a job as a pilot.
Now my question is.....would it be complete madness (in current climate) to go off and do the training. Are job prospects that bad at the moment that it just wouldn't be worth it (and I am also 36 years old!)?
I am passionate about flying and would love my career to be as a pilot....
