Not so old

Dreamflight80, if you really want to do it , don't give up. Go for it big time. It is a great time to get a pilot's job and there is quite a shortage in many places in Europe and elsewhere.

If you think you are old, I didn't start my training until I was 40 and an old friend of mine didn't start until he was 43! That friend is now a Captain on a 737 earning good bucks and enjoying his flying and does not miss his old lifestyle/job at all.

Good luck to you and remember that some companies don't insist that all of their new pilots are only 22, some feel that older pilots may stay with them for longer and not run off to Emirates or wherever.
