Hi, I'm new to the forum and I'd like to ask you a question.
What is the oldest pilot you have ever met in the cockpit who started their career flying commercial airliners?
Considering that I will pass the Class 1 aviation medical exam, have the money to complete all the required training, and already hold a PPL with 80 hours of flight time — is there a realistic chance of getting a job as a pilot if I obtain a CPL with the necessary ratings and pass the ATPL theory exam, aiming to start working at the age of 46? Is it completely pointless, and is it already too late?
