Buzz C152, nice idea mate, I have enjoyed reading throught this , so I thought I would contribute.
Age 27
Live with parents due to the fact the bank account is funding pilot training and not currently fueling the bank and a mortgage!
Training PPL, with 140 hours TT, due to start ATPL ground school on Jan 6th 2003.
Occupation Retired Aerospace Engineer

. Stopped working last February after saving enough cash and to pursue pilot training.
Salary Now in the skint bracket, but was in the No.4 bracket.
In 18 months I would like to be working as a professional pilot as would we all. I know a few people in the aerial photography business, so may be able to obatin some experience there. Would ultimately like to fly passenger jets and have experiance of short haul and long haul, and end by retiring then sharing my experiences and teaching fellow wanabees.
