Same as Poppajo, CPL AT 31, back to old career to build the bank account then at 34 packed the car and drove north.
3 years flying charter then jagged RPT job initially pistons then a year later Multi Crew Turbine now narrow body Jet command. Extra life and job experience before aviation goes a long way when applying for early flying positions.
Best of luck. If you don’t have a go you’ll spend the rest of your life wishing you had!
