Hey guys,
I知 just looking for a little advice. My situation is as follows
I知 currently 15 months through a 3-year course to become a Merchant Navy Deck Officer, I love the navigation side of the course. Having been to sea once already I have however realized I知 just not passionate about shipping or the ships themselves.
I worked in the airline industry before as cabin crew in the UK and the Middle East, then planned roster for a low-cost carrier in Australia. I have always loved the Airline Industry, but it has taken being involved in another transportation sector to make me realize planes, airports, and hotels are my home, and a taste of navigation to make me dream of moving from the cabin to the cockpit.
My issue is I知 36 years old and I値l be almost 39 by the time I finish my Merchant Navy Cadetship.
The ways I see it is I have 2 options
1: Finish the cadetship and try to get a job onboard a ship as an Officer and uses the cash and time off to get my fATPL.
2: Quit now and use the cash I saved in the middle east to go get my license and try to get back into an Industry I know and love doing a job I aspire to.
I'm looking to book my first flying lesson, to get the ball rolling.
Any advice would be great.
