Funny how you commented on my attitude. I actually think billyx makes a very very good point.
I understand your problem though Alex- there isn't a huge amount of choice, and once you've invested so much money for the fATPL, I can understand that you feel the need to drop some more now in the hope to gain it back and some in the future. I've not done much research into this, I guess I was lucky enough to not have too, so on reading the numbers bedix84 was quoting I found them to be simply out of this world and in my opinion not worth it - hence my short/not so sweet reply.
