I don't know how true this is that I'm about to spout but I have heard that some airlines don't like taking PPL's with loads of hours. A PPL can only be an advantage to you like kanga says but with few hours (I mean like 150+) you start to pick up bad habits which can be hard to get you out of. I have heard this statement made in particular about the BA scheme. Like I say, whether it is true or not I don't know. I hope not!!!!

PS - Kanga, just confirm that "flying the big jets" is by Clive Hughes and not Stanley Stewart??? Anyone else shed any light on this?
