New career in aviation - likeliness and progression route
This is my first post on the forum after spending some time reviewing other threads on here that partially cover my questions I thought it'd be good to start a new thread covering both topics and to get current opinions (given the world is a volatile place and aviation industry seems to also be a highly volatile industry)
Essentially I'm 40, qualified professional in completely different field earning approx. £100K/pa, located in greater London between Heathrow and Gatwick, contemplating taking class 1 medical and if all ok completing the PPL with a view to progressing from there to fATPL via modular route if the new found passion for aviation is retained.
My questions are; should I progress to CPL level, how probable is it that I'll be able to land a job with an airline as FO relatively quickly given the ongoing market conditions, my age & location and career history....etc and secondly, if you were to estimate remuneration for the first role what would be a reasonable estimate?
I'd also like to understand from the first role, what does progression typically look like - sequence of job roles, time in each role and rough remuneration - all averages as i know it's variable
