Gutted
I've just started studying towards my PPL with a view of progressing as time goes on. I'm aware that the chances of being a pilot for one of the "big" airlines is slim, but I'd always fancied air taxi services and the like.
However, that all came to a big, crashing halt last night when I found out that because my eyesight is so bad (although it's fine with glasses) I don't meet the requirements to obtain a Class 1, only Class 2.
So I'm forever going to be in the private pilot club.
I'm gutted. I know there is a huge difference between saying you want to be a pro pilot and actually being a pro pilot, but I'd have liked to think I had a fighting chance. Apparently not.
So here's the question - What's the most fun you can have with a PPL, knowing that you'll never be able to make any money from it!?
