Good for you, Sir.
I imagine autosync and Mr. Coupling were born to be helicopter pilots with a right to dictate who may join their exclusive club?
You're never too old to start anything new. You may have a harder time than someone younger but my experience is a maturer pilot is more likely to stick with a company and bring some important wider experience of life to the job.
I would recommend HAI purely as I attended that school and it's done me no harm at all. 6 years on and going strong.
As an instructor I took pupils from 0 hours to a CPL (FAA and CAA) aged from 17 to 52. There are also advantages to having a wife and kids with you too. Having support at home and someone to bore with your tales of your first steps to a licence is invaluable.
Good luck to you. Go for it. I would have been an accountant now if I hadn't done what you're about to do.
