Desk Pilot
I hope to start modular later this year. Spend a year doing ATPL exams and hour building. Then onto the flight training itself. By the time the exams are out the way I will have a better idea of the market and how quick (or slow) to complete the flight training. All the time I intend to keep my current job to keep me going, even though it is boring it pays the bills.
Its a tough one but I would regret not doing it, whatever happens in the future job market.
Why not get that PPL first and see how things go.
Great thing about this site is the advice from those who have been there.
