after all you won't be going on to CPL
Why Not???? You're not dead, and can still enjoy challenges in life once you've turned a certain age!!!

not making any assumptions, however do you know any airlines taking new pilots over 60 ? or even 100000 hour pilots over 60 ?
You're making more assumptions....

Whirlybird said she knew a 60 year old who "sold a business and was thinking of a new part time career, and considered a CPL and FI rating".

You're talking about being on the airlines from CPL, she's talking about being a flying instructor from CPL.

You don't see instruction as a worthwhile part time "career" then ??? And you think once you get past a certain age you should just roll over and die???

PS Tomorrow... I'm going flying with a guy. He's NPPL now (but then he is in his mid eighties) but has more multi-engine hours than everyone in the club added together
