Hi,
I absolutely understand what you're saying. I'm forty three in a couple of weeks time (can't believe that myself!) and I'm desperate to get out of the job which I've been in for the last twenty five years - and more or less hated every minute of it! I realise that I'm not gonna walk into a jet job, but I'd rather fly anything than stay in my current job. Fortunately I have a very understanding Wife, and a young Son of three and a half years. It's gonna be the Modular route for me, and I'm gonna be starting my ATPL ground studies with Bristol Ground school in the next couple of weeks.
Whishing you all Best in your aspirations to
Dave
