I wish you luck, and thanks for sharing the update.
I remember telling myself if I wasn't a pilot by 26, I would give up... And it was only once I turned 26 that I really made a go for it. I'm 31 now and just secured my first flying job. Along my modular pathway, I met people younger than me in their early 20s, and some in the 30s, 40s and 50s. A chap I knew on my APS MCC was in late 40s and he's just started with Jet2 - he was also offered a fully-funded flight instructor course with guarantee of job at end. There is a lot respect out there for the self-improver route, shows strong character!
