Dear Thomas,

Thanks a lot for taking time to write this reply.

Yes, indeed - I thought of changing my proffesional life somewhat. Thought
of taking the aviation course up to CPL + instructor rating which would
allow me to catch some temporary job at the flight school and while teaching
others - also built up my hours and look around for some further steps.

I actually thought of later working in companies like e.g. www.pactec.com -
that's why I thought of learning in SA - where they apparently train best
for this type of the job (IMO)

The factor of taking a "cheapest" course is important - because I can
dispose only limited budget - that's U$ 30k and that's it. I do bear in mind
that one could get stuck with not finished course and a lack of budgets - so
there must be some reserve.

As for the type of licence - would like to work in...well in the world
generally + maybe Europe. I thought that maybe some more experienced pilots
or related proffesionals would give their tips on how the career could be
organised.

Thanks again and all the best.

P.
