My Simple Question is this
Is it going to be worth it (Career Wise) to get my CPL so Late? I have been told that 35 is the ultimate cut-off.... so I thought I'd ask People who are in the Field, stick my feelers out and see what you Guys/Girls Think.

Thank you for any and all your Responces.
Hey mate,

Im 49 and have almost finished my PPL and have just made a booking for my first CPL exam, ive spoken to various people in the industry and all have given nothing but encouragement and said go for it. Obviously wont have any chance of getting into the airlines but that's not what i want, my plan is to fly GA commercially for as long as i can retain a class 1 med and enjoy being in the air.
