Holiday Flying Only

Hi all,

What does anyone think of a PPL holder that flies only during vacations/holidays. Assuming he is able to put 20-40 hours a year in one or two spells of two weeks annually with intervals of at least six months, will he still be a proficient and safe flyer?

In economic terms is the training expenditure justified if the pilot will fly infrequently albeit in short intense bursts?

For safety ,is frequency of flight more important than absolute number of hours logged?

If PPL flying skills decay due to disuse, what is the best way of mitigating this?

What form of aviation has the least 'decay of skills' due inactivity?

Thanks.
