Congratulations Blueduck you should be extremely proud of that. It's a hell of a lot of money and no doubt a lot of stress/time involved but can only imagine the sense of achievement!
I've had a very significant turn of events in the last few months, in that I've been offered a place on the easyJet MPL programme with CTC. Just now waiting on a medical then I should be good to go, so its exciting times ahead.
Would be interesting to know if anyone else is thinking of going commercial or taking things further with the PPL?
