Currently typing this in a hurry as in 30 minutes we're off wine tasting in Napa on a day off c/o of the "desperately boring" airline job I now do. The flying ain't as much fun but by the time you're nearing 38 I would suggest
it becomes more about the lifestyle.
Whilst an ATPL(H) in the back pocket is a no-brainer I would suggest getting the /A by foul means or foul and go for the biggest airline that still exists in 2019 (British easyRyangin no doubt).
Though in the meantime I would suggest getting thru the OCF and first couple of tours might be a priority. And buy any house you can afford near base - just make it one that doesn't need much upkeep as it'll be a place to dump kit between camping trips...
Gotta go...
