Birdman, after 45 years in the aviation business I hope I can pass on some thoughts. Both my sons expressed some interest in commercial aviation, but nowadays, I am so pleased that they decided not to go down that route. It is vital with your responsibilities that you explore all the avenues open to you but really understand what you are getting into. Do you want to fly or do you want to fly commercially - there is a difference. If the former, with a successful business, and living close to Staverton, a beautiful area, possibly a PPL and club flying may be a safer option for you
