a bit of advice from the professionals
Hi all. I would like a bit of advice from you all and preferably from people who are already successfully in the industry as they will know what it really is all about( ie full ATPL's).
What I want to know is this.... I am approaching the end of my ATPL ground studies(I hope) and will then go on to complete my CPL course. I am 26 yrs old and will be 27 mid next year.
I just got married recently and we want to go travelling together before we get too old to want to do those fun young things.
What I wanted to do was finish my CPL and then leave the IR rating till after coming back from travelling for a year. This means leaving a gap of about a year from doing my cpl and the prospect of not doing any commercial work during that time.
So please tell me people, do you think I should forget going travelling as it could hurt the chances of a career path in aviation or should I do what 'we should never miss out on' in our lifetime?
Also, what are the BEST CPL training schools - Cabair, Oxford, etc...
Cheers
JD
