Well, lots of interesting views so far. I guess it's also about that inner desire to want to achieve something....one reply mentioned 'what if I had started that training?' For me, the training itself would come in use as I have my own Arrow Turbo which is why I've managed to build 320hours in 2yrs time to date, and money is not the issue. It would appear that giving up a career is not the best idea but the modular route might be the best option....or do I say sod it and take full time training to realise in the minimum of time? One things for sure I need to get down to Gatwick and get the medical sorted....
