Hi Big M.
Am 35 and will be 36 in Jan. Have only got a PPL and am about to start ATPL's. Have a lot to do and will be working in the mean time. I'm going to give it a shot, work hard and hope to be all done in the next 2yrs, maybe sooner. I'll be 38 looking for work with F*** all hours but I will be a lot closer to the flight deck than I am right now. I am not married, have no house, am back home with the folks and don't go out too much caus all my friends are married, with houses and children. I don't envy anyone of them, except maybe the ones with loads of cash, but their lifestyle ???
I don't think so mate. Life is an adventure and it's pissing by fairly quick from where I'm standing! So for me, no more waiting, its ATPL's or bust!!! If that doen't work, I am also looking at work in operations because working in the environment of an airline will be the next best thing if I fail to either get all my qualifications or fail to get work.
Good luck, it will all be over before you know it.
Later
