Speedy ...... please don't tell me thats the hourly rate <img src="eek.gif" border="0"> <img src="eek.gif" border="0"> <img src="eek.gif" border="0"> . If it is then I suggest you look at other schools. When I did my training in a C152 I thought my rate was bad at £96 an hour. If you can find cheap hire then you'll be able to fly more often <img src="wink.gif" border="0"> .

It can be difficult to fund a PPL at 16. I spend the best part of 6k doing mine over 14 months. It made me pretty broke and i've got a full time job. Have you considered taking the opportunity to do your PPL over a couple of months. There are quite a few offers going about where you can do the who lot for about 3k (i think). If i'd have had the time to do this then i'd have gone this route. It will work out cheaper.

As to answer you original question, it really depends on what you can find. No job will be perfect. A pointer - don't get a job where you only work on nice sunny days!

Good luck
