27, fresh, from 0-atpl in australia
g'day,
i am 27 and wannabe a commercial pilot, in fact have always wanted to do this. i have no savings but a new job which should afford me some $$$$ to start. i live in brisbane, qld, australia and i have some questions.
1) is 27 too old to start from scratch with no savings?
2) i want to fly for an airline (anywhere is ok) so should i just go from ppl to cpl and do my atpl and pay as i go, then build hours out bush then apply for airlines?
or
3)save $$$ and apply for cadet programs like qantas or ******
or
4)save $$$ and get my cpl in the phillipines then come back to australia and convert the license to casa
i know that this question gets bandied about the forum every second day but i just wanted some input into my future plans from some people who are already living my dream and can help with some constructive advise.
cheers and beers
