Y Sam
PPL at age 30, CPL at 37 and ATPL at 40. Flew skydivers, glider tugs, anything with wings except a bucket of fried chicken. Now chasing that airline job but wondering if I'm doing the right thing as I'm having so much fun as a bush pilot. Funded my PPL with money earned as a sponsored skydiver for a major motor company, a bank and a fuel company. Left the IT business after losing my rag and trying to sh1t in the boss' ashtray and loaded and fuelled DC3s for a year before getting a right hand seat. Never looked back. Just gotta hang in there and bite the bullet, mate.
Good luck......
