Im in the same position as Yorkshire Boy
im 24 and im really want to be a pilot but i will be self funding it from my own money by working to pay for lessons,altho for me it seems like the process will take atleast 18months for me to do my PPL and thats putting everything i have in.
The issue that holding me back is hour building if it taken me 18months to do my ppl at min 45 hours to do another 150 hours may take another 3 years just to build up enough for the CPL....so the 1000+ to get a good paying job seems sooooooooo far fetched for me
