Supply and demand is the problem - millions of people want to be pilots, but not millions of people want to work in IT.

2. I own a 1/5 share in the plane, which I bought for £3500 last year. I pay £35/month hangerage and insurance, and £40/hour wet to fly it (including fuel). It cruises at 85 knots (95mph) and I can take a passenger. Range of 4 hours.
Based at a farm airstrip in Hampshire.
I've been everywhere in it: Lands end, Scotland (Ben Nevis), Dover, and Deauville in France.Comment
