thanks for all the replies, i appreciate the input.
the next intake starts in september so i have a bit longer to research/decide.
its a definate risk and if i don't do it soon then i'll get to the point where i may as well forget about it and do a ppl for pleasure.
being a bush pilot in the remote areas of the world would have appealed when i was younger(still does actually) but anything like that would be an unrealistic move for the family.I'm also have permanent residency in new zealand and its possible we may return there in the future so that could be another possible market?
