Is it (financially) worth it?
I'm in a pretty common situation - mid/late 30's, wife & kids, etc - reaching the "it's now or never" stage. Have a PPL already, but ran out of money for further training a while back.
While I have a very supportive wife who will put up with me investing 50k in training, but there needs to be a future in it. I imagine top of the earnings pile is charter or lo-cost, followed by regional, followed by instructing.
Assuming an almost 40 year old 250 hours fATPL holder can get a job, what would he/she earn?
Don't get me wrong, it's not about money - I'd stay an IT Contractor and stick to private flying if it was - I just need a realistic picture of what to expect before I commit.
