Well done Desk-pilot. Go for it.. .I made the same decision recently to give up the planet and do the only thing that had been nagging me since I was a kid.. .It took 4 months of planning and asking questions before I finally told my wife and kids.......only just managed to hold on to the wedding ring....she, like everyone else thought I had lost my head completely.. .Anyway, I managed to sweet-talk them all round and before you know it, we had sold our house, sold our car and plunged everything we owned into this little venture.. .We are now living in a rented house and I drive an old BT escort van which I managed to scrounge for free but life is absolutely fantastic.. .There is still a long way to go, I've got the PPL, am upto 100hrs and rising rapidly and currently doing my ATPL distance learning with Bristol. When I'm not revising I'm flying.. .Keep going D-p, theres a lot of people and situations out there that can put you off so very easily. You just have to keep moving forward.
