Hey Everyone,
I'm contemplating taking a corporate transfer to Seattle(not Microsoft or Amazon), however, I'm concerned the low ceiling, poor visibility environment will crush my dreams of getting my private pilot. Ultimately, I want to train and time build to the point where it becomes a new career (ATP). From what I understand, the weather is only bad for flying during the winter, but I don't want to have to take the winter off. It will be a multi-year process, building 1500 hrs to ATP.
How significantly would the weather in Seattle slow my plans? Would it only affect my PPL as once I begin work on my IFR, the clouds don't matter?
The other option is to stay in ATL at my old job, where the flight training is VFR most days. Any things to consider or opinions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
