Lock Wire
As usual i have to say thanks for the bucketfull of information, having only been a 'ppruner' for a few days i have learnt more 'truthfull' accounts about the life above the cloouds than any training schools prospectus ever will... My regards also to Jonny 7 , his route may not be the best solution but its still one im seriously considering.
im currently sitting here doing my 9-5er, with this forced grimmace of a smile that says " Im Loving My Job - NOT" You can only get excited about I.T for soooooooo long. And sure if i had 70G lurking about what would i be doing with it.... paying the martgage off - I don't think so
I am under no elusion on the state of affairs at the moment, however current job/lifestyle just does not do it for me, i set out to fly and im going to damn well make sure i get something. Maybe it wont work out the way i imagined it when everything was rosy in the garden, but if i at least get the old tootsies in the door and things do start to improve in the next 3/4 years, then at least im up at the starting block with everyone else and not just strapping on the learning goggles .........
Certainly your suggestion on having both makes sense, i will be researching further into costs, nervous breakdowns etc.
Tell me, your suggestion on going stateside and getting 1'000+ JAR fATPL, FAA ATP, any schools you could recommend ??
Well i have to finish now and go and earn some crust for all this dreaming, and No i can't go for a stroll around the block in t-shirt weather to see the sun set, the best i can do is run around the apartment block in my wellies and umbrella and watch the black rain clouds get bigger and bigger here in Dublin.....still nice weather for ducks !!!!!
Talk to Ya......
