Should I bother?
Folks,
Not often I am on this forum, but have a few questions you may be able to help with....
Just coming up to the end of my military time, flying backseat Sea Kings in the senior service (Navy for those not in the know).
14yrs 3000 + hours (1800 as aircraft captain)
1000 hrs SAR
A2 Instructor (Nav / general airmanship / warfare / tactics / NVG etc)
Am looking for a real job and thinking about building on my current PPL and continue getting the rest of my licences.
Question is?
Does my military experience count for anything and will it be seen as advantageous or will I be considered at interview as having the same experience as those with the same number of fixed wing flying hours? (who will probably be far younger than me)
I will be 38 when I leave will this be a disadvantage?
It is obviously a large financial outlay when there may be other options available and all help will be appreciated
Thanks
