the horizon (and a daughter coming up not far behind), stretching out his
flight training is not a good option, financially.
There are many commercial glider operations which I'm sure would be glad
to accept him for a three week (or so) full time arrangement during
holidays (
http://www.ssa org). This would give him a new perspective to
flying and a license. Besides, it's my strong believe that starting in
gliders makes you a better stick and rudder pilot, but this is just my
opinion.
You'd run the risk, though, that he'll loose interest in powered flight
and decides to stay with gliders.
