Just to clarify, I wasn't asking about choice in careers between GA and Airline. I was asking whether it was worth paying to renew licences when airlines are seldom hiring and I don't need them for GA. Obviously if the industry picked up I would renew it straight away. I just feel like in the mean time, the cost of doing right not is the cost for me of 4-5 hours of flying. As for the medical, I've got another year of class 2 privileges.
