Hi everyone, i finally made the decision to quit my current education plan and go modular to hopefully end up as a hired pilot anywhere. Even if i fail Iam sure I would feel better to have tryed my best in terms of aviation, rather then done nothing at all.
As others have said many times on other threads, it's probably worth doing a few hours of flying before you make any big decisions re. commercial training. You never know you may find you hate it! I would say do the PPL first and then, if you still want to go for it at that point, start on the ATPL DL and hour building.
I totally agree you should do the PPL in as short a time as possible. I spread mine over several years and it added £000s to the overall cost.
That said, do go for the odd flight while you're studying for the ground exams as it gives you motivation! I'm combining hour building with ATPL theory for this reason.
