You haven't started and already think about P2F?

Flyier Katanic:
Whats the average cost
You got it my friend, COST.

My advice is to take your $150 000 (that's what your dream will most likely going to cost you if you add the loss of salary from a nice job, the cost of your brand new CPL, the cost of your type rating, the cost of your pay to work scam, and other spendings al together...) and play with it on wall street or in The City (London): you'll lose less.

Burning $150 000 within 5 years was already a very stupid choice in the past, but nowadays if you add the fact oil price will sky rocket within a few years (within 8 years conventional oil is schedule to decrease dramatically, replaced by much more expensive oil and other energy...), it just look like a casino game played by an addicted: the one who loses at the end whatever happen.

You are in Canada? Stay there if you want to be a pilot.

Start on C172 (or the like), and see where it goes from there, that's where almost all the canadians pilots start from, it costs incredibly less and makes you a better pilot.
