Hi Mark Wannabe,

Although the previous posts outline the reality of the state of the industry at present, to paraphrase Cloud69
"you don't want to die wishing you had tried".

This type of motivation is pretty powerful and I think personally that age 35 is certainly not too old.

I am 32 and with only around 320 hrs I am confident of achieving my dream of an airline slot.

A friend of mine is 39, started training at the age of 34 and is now a second officer with Cathay Pacific. He told me their are a few guys in their forties who also started with him.

There will always be doubters, and people you would like to tell you its a pipedream.


However,if you can stomach the cost and the study required, I say Go for it Mate!

Cheers
