KillKenny - No offence taken, no really, just wait till i see you !
Morning Glory - Thanks for your advice, this is something i have been thinking about for along time, given the current state of the industry. I know (and looking forward) to all this extra study, after all it is not like being at school as most of the subjects i revised for and studied, I hated !!, aviation law, met, systems etc. i LOVE so much it will be anenjoyable 6-7months ..
I also realise the financial benefits of self study, but also realise from my school, college, uni days that self study and revision were not my hot spots and given the number of distractions at home - family, girlfriend, pets etc.. i am moving away from the self study idea,. .Hopefully if i can start the ATPLs at the end of this year then I can do the CPL/IR during the better weather in 2003, hopefully by then the industry will be in a state of re-growth.
To me airline flying is the cherry on the cake, paid flying is my dream!
Thanks for your advice all
