Boys and girls, Hello.
1st post so please be gentle.
I have had a brief look at some of the threads and forum memebrs posts and how. I cant belive how i now look at the aviation world. I suppose the best thing is that its real people on here and its always good to get both sides to a story / experience.
Obviously i joined on here as i have an interest in the aviation world. Trying to save money up to get a PPL then hopefully CPL. But looking around some web pages via google and yahoo bringing up some schools in UAE. First impressions was it does not look as expensive as the likes of CTS wings scheme that i looked at doing before i moved to Dubai. How the hell are you supposed to get 60,000 pounds without having a job previously or having wealthy parents (i gather that some people would have thier parents give them 60K?).
I have in mind the only way i will achive my goal is to pay for it myself.
Working in Dubai i meet alot of Emirates/FlyDubai and Eithad airways pilots and they have various answer to the question i ask them. Where and how did you get your license?
So people since its early days (Still need to save up more cash) and i have had a introductory flight to see if i liked it.
Where is the best place to learn once cash is all saved up and where? Best value etc.
Thanks
Simon
P.s go easy with me! :ok:
