Start training at 38
Hi all. I’ve read a lot about people’s view on the age when airlines tend not to accept applications for older people.
I’ve always dreamed of being an airline pilot, I went to university and got a degree, started a career and purchased a house and managed to save enough money to start training.
However after all that I’m now 37 and will be 38 shortly.
I live in Ireland so I’m happy to move to another country to train but would essentially like to work for Aer Lingus or Ryanair in Dublin after training is competed.
If I spend the money on training and I’m qualified before I’m 40 are the airlines just going to pass me or ignore me for guys in their early 20s.
I’d like to hear some feedback on these two airlines hiring newly trained cadets at 39/40 years old.
