WX Man,
What I am saying is that the outlay, (£25.000 seems to be on the conserative side,) is not worth your POSSIBLE renumeration at the end of the tunnel.
I am a 757/767 skipper and am painfully aware that my spending power in real terms is less now than it was 15 years ago and will almost certainly continue to decrease over the next 15 years.
My advice as someone who has "been there done it," become a lawyer and make some real money!
This game is just not the same as it used to be.
