(it pays really well and i get to work at home fulltime if you're wondering why i haven't jumped ship)
I'm too old to go commercial and i'm not sure it'd be my bag anyway.
so my question is.... what sort of opportunities are out there to get paid to fly or at least subsidised that are realistically achievable for a new, older, pilot?
i'm looking for options to bring some balance or at least have eyes open if it's not realistic.
thanks very much
Go freelance work and get the cost of flying onto account operating expenses.
