Isn't this fun!?

Age: 26

Living: I spent my flat deposit money on flight training, so I'm residing at my dad's place until I get the ATPL's out the way...13 down, one to go; PoF to resit after a misjudgement in my revision schedule. Off to Bournemouth to do my CPL/IR asap!

Flying: 165 hours, give or take.

Salary: I've made a conscious decision to keep it at zero until I've completed my IR. I have weak moments and do the odd day/week back at my old firm - it's paid for a jolly to Florida to do my MEP Rating and a spot of sky-drilling.

18 months time: who knows? I have an ongoing fantasy involving the pilotage of rickety old death traps around Africa. I need to do something to tell the grandkids about!

Age: 31

House: Mine, shared with wife and 3 children.

Training: CPL, IR in the next 2 weeks, 200+ hours and all of those lovely JAA exams passed (from where I sit I dont understand why I had any problems with any of them).

Salary: Self sponsored so zero but I used to be well off.

18 months time: Hopefully a coalminer as they seem to have better long term employment prospects in the UK.

Age 23

Living In Australia, at home still... saving whatever I can.

Flying FO Turboprop, Frozen ATPL (Almost Full ATPL), 1600hrs Total about 1200 Turboprop.

18 Months: The amount of time it took me to find my job in the first place. As for the future, it seems a long time away and the industry is changing a great deal at the moment. Prospects from stagnant to very good, but the grass always looks greener elsewhere.
