This would be useful in general whether for career aspirations or general chit chat so I'm not boring the missus to death with aviation haha
The only downside I'm seeing with Barton is there roughly £2000 more expensive than the other 2/3 NW operators in looking at all in. Factoring flights, visa, accommodation, tsa fees, course cost, etc American Aviation academy is £8400 (5 week course) add another couple hundred dollars for 6 weeks for the added accommodation and if time £900 for the night rating.
