A New Commercial Pilot Among Us!
Congratulations Dearest Whirls.....I reckon the old sods will have to shift over a bit at the bar now!
Give'em shoes and the vote and nothing is sacred anymore....next you know she will be wanting to earn a living flying instead of gang auditing folks!
Well Done, Mi'Lady!

Thanks chaps and chapesses and, of course, Sassy Dahling; it's been a long old process with several cancellations due to weather but a gap between the cold fronts and I made it.
Davy, the next hurdle is making a decision in this economic climate

Davy, going back to college is probably the best option at the moment; at least I have a day job and, whilst it may be the second most boring job in the world, there is always a need for accountants
Choose your subjects carefully and use your hour-building time to improve accuracy, RT discipline, saying your checks out loud and understanding pre-flight procedures.

Arg!missed your post Whirls...congrats to you aswell and thx you all.
About the next step, ummm...first thing is gettng my finances back to shape. Things are not at its best now but i already knew that before starting the adventure. Spain has kind of a small heli busyness so few chances for starters, althought might be similar to other places. I'll take my car and cv and tour the country to see reactions...one never knows...
Best of luck in your career Whirls!

To save confusion all over again...
WhirlyGIG = Whirls
WhirlyBIRD = Whirly
And contrary to some rumours, we are definitely not one and the same person!!!
Congrats again Whirls and Smike.
