Wow. Yep, just like I thought - I'm just another number. I too work in the I.T industry, I'm 25 next month, I have a girlfriend, a 20K job that I hate, and would love to work somewhere else, I've got a PPL and soon to have an IMC, thankfully no morgage, (yet!) - Seems like there's some many of us out there!
I too am looking into doing my ATPL part/full time in the future. Need some more money though. If anyone knows of any jobs going in the I.T area that require V.B/SQL etc.. I would love to hear from anyone!!!! (yes yes yes I know this isnt the right place to ask, but hey, who knows..)
I've been flying for nearly two years now. If anyone needs any answers regarding PPL or IMC feel free to mail me.
Best of luck to you all
