From: pepper99@NOSPAM.primus.ca 
  
 Currently in ground school, and soon to start dual instruction, as 
 soon as funds allow..  (I want to have enough cash saved up so that 
 once I start, I don't have to stop for lack of funds. 
  
 I'm personally aiming to get my recreational licence, however many of 
 the instructors I have chatted with seem to be pushing me towards the 
 full private licence instead. 
  
 Personally, I've compared the two licences, and for my needs after the 
 fact, a recreational ticket is all I really need.    Cost is a huge 
 factor as well, and the recreational ticket is signifigantly less 
 expensive. 
  
 Basically, I can afford to pursue the rec ticket very soon, whereas 
 the cost of going with the full private liscence will probably delay 
 me a year while I save up the required cash. 
  
 What's everyone's opinion of this?   I can personally live within the 
 restrictions of the rec ticket easilly, yet remain somewhat concened 
 about why many people seem to be steering me away from it.   Since 
 it's sanctioned by Transport Canada, and is a legitimate licence, I'm 
 not sure why it seems to be frowned upon quite as much as I seem to be 
 experincing. 
  
 Any opinions/info appreciated.
