Hello everyone :)
like a lot of people posting here I'm considering a career in flying, but I have a few questions... forgive me for the stupid ones... I'm at the shallow end of the learning curve.
1) I understand that there are different CPL's required for different regions around the world - is there any one place that is better to train than any other? or what are the bridging examinations of say u train in Australia then want to fly in Europe or the states?
2) I have read a lot on various flight school websites about the length of time from training to earning - realisticly what can be expected? From having never had alesson to paid job as a pilot/officer.
3) likewise a lot fo the flight school websites make a note about age (ie start as early as you can etc) - well Im 30, and want to fly - is it really going to matter by the time my training is done and Im out there living the dream so to speak?
anyway,
nice to meet you all :ok:
