All statements such as "our graduates will go
directly to an airline as a pilot", must be taken with a grain of salt. If something sounds too good to be true, you must be critical and research a lot! Thats basically a flight schools job, to lure people into their flight schools. Funny enough, a lot of people (way too many) fall for it, without knowing what they're actually going to...
In your situation, I would probably go for the modular route. Start with the PPL and build your way up towards the CPL/fATPL. Its safer and cheaper, and you can do it in your own pace. Also more convenient if you have a family to take care of.
Start with the medical class 1! Thats the
first thing you need to do! Without this you can't become a professional pilot, so do this first.
Nowadays, getting a job (in Europe) as a pilot is almost impossible. I have a lot of jobless pilot-friends who nearly have 100 000 euros debt and some even more... You dont want to be in that situation.
Nothing is too late! You can still become a pilot at your age! Just be smart and research A LOT before applying to ANY flight schools.
