"Having a GFPT makes training for the PPL easier due to the extra hours between checks."
For the PPL you require minimum solo time of 5 hours general, 5 hours cross country.
Why drill extra holes in the sky in the training area at supervised solo or in some cases dual rate, when you can do the PPL and hire an aircraft without having to get and pay for an instructor permission (and find someone to do the daily inspection for you) every time?
