Thanks Genghis !
I’m 45… “check the call sign” and registered on PPRuNE just a couple of minutes ago…
Did a CPL IR MEL last year (trained in South California and Florida) and planning…”need to find the time…” to achieve a CFI and progress toward a CFII…
Why?.... as a personal challenge…and to keep feeding the passion…
Will this lead to a career change…don’t think so…I definitely earn more than a BA 747 Captain in my current job…which is part of the reason why I do not see a change at this stage…maybe I’m wrong..!!!
But you are right…even at 40-45 still 20 years to go…not as an Airline Pilot (understand the very limit is 60…) but with the right motivation and acquiring… “$$$”… the right type-ratings….at least, a corporate pilot “career” could be a dream come true…
If you are 30-35...no doubt...go for it now… and follow your passion...Genghis is right!!!
Cheers
“Pappy”
