Happy DJ,
You are welcome mate.
I did my PPL in 1995, in the US, I was at college at the time. Left college in 1997 and worked as an Engineer and various other jobs to supplement my income for 5 years. Saved up a stack of cash which funded my training. All my training was fitted in around work.
Worked as an instructor for a couple of years before landing an airline job.
If you need to know anything else, drop me a line.
All the best.
