    I did 5 years in ATC before becoming a pilot. I will give you some more info tomorrow as I have just got in from being on the town. A little wasted.

    Airbuses are not built as well as Boeings. That’s for sure.

    What is it about mildly lethal diseases that fascinate people so much?

    I remember when people avoided Canada due to SARS while you’re more likely to get killed in a car accident on any given day.

    Here here mate.

    I live in Hong Kong and I have never been so pi##ed of at the media for all the hype. It’s all a load of tosh. Do you have any idea how many people are dying from AIDS.

    Well, given my experiences flying in the US and the UK I would go for the US any day. You can complete a CAA PPL or JAA (whatever it’s called at the moment). On you return you only need a checkout from your local school, although I would recommend a couple of hours getting to know the airspace etc. But the money you have saved from the lower cost of the US will pay for that and more. In the US you get it done in a fraction of the time and I found it was more intense and rewarding completing it over a month than taking 4 to 5 months in the uk waiting for the weather to change.

    I did my PPL in Florida and I would recommend it entirely. I had the best 4 weeks ever there. I went back 3 times after that on a flying holiday, we rented an aircraft for a fortnight and buggered of around Florida….bloody marvellous. So much more fun than the UK.

    And once you have your PPL, that’s it…DEBT until your flying career pays it of.

    I loved my time in Florida, want to go back again and just fly up the coast at sunset.:D

    Then again being confident is what this game is all about, and what is your $125,000 aircraft, do you want to share it? Have a good christmas all.

    Well I deal with engine failures every 6 weeks in the sim. All in a days work.

    The $125 Million aircraft is a B747-400.

    By far the best is here in Hong Kong. Thailand is the worst. UK is damn right crap. Italy is OK but the underground was dirty and smelly. US was quite good.

    It just so happens I was in this restaurant 2 nights ago. It’s call the FELIX restaurant. The bar is next to it, over looking the Harbour. The toilets , as WYSI said, are excellent. Quite expensive though.
