I'm accountant here in the US. I worked in the UK when I was in my late
20's. I'm now 50 and just starting my lessons. My father worked for the
airlines so I grew up around the airports etc but never made the plunge. I
just dreamed. Here in the US its an expensive hobby and you need a good
income to participate. You'll make alot more money being a chartered
accountant than a commericial pilot. Particularly with the airlines
downsizing aircraft and turning them into flying buses.

But then again to be up there in the sky, you can't put a number on that.

Hi,

I currently live in the UK and I was wondering
what would be the best way of becoming a
commercial pilot. I do not have alot of money
and I am about to study for a degree in accounting
in order to generate some cash for learning to fly.
Does anyone have any ideas of the best path I
could follow to earn my commercial flying licence.
I do not yet hold a private licence either.

Kind Regards,
Peter
