You ready for this?
No you're not too old, that's just b#llocks.
But if you own a house, sell it.
If you don't borrow a bag full of money and go stateside.
How honest you want to be to the bank is your problem.
Get your FAA CPL-IR and all the flight instructor ratings.
Be broke for a year or two and get your FAA ATPL.
You will have run into numerous opportunities by then.
Do not just look back at Europe, be willing to stay in the US or work anywhere in the world.
As far as I know to convert from FAA ATPL you need additional 1500hrs in a plane with MTOW>20.000 kgs
If you go to a school that can issue an J1 (very important)visa
you can work on it for the remainder after you're done with your training eg if the training takes 6 months you have 1.5 years left on the visa.
Forget about working on an M1-visa that trick doesn't work anymore.
Good luck and check your private messages
