Hi there,
I started the ATPL's when I was 34 and got my first commercial job last September at 37 with Jet2 flying 757's
.
Went the modular route and found it more relaxed ,(even though those bloody exams were a pain in the arse
),but learning is at a steady rate rather than at an accelerated one(integrated), which I found better for me.
Obviously it's completely your choice to become a pilot, don't be under any illusion of the study thats involved for the written exams,as all of us have found out. Do some more research on both modular and integrated.
I studied for the ATPL's and the IR at BCFT and found them great and very patient!!, did the hour building and the CPL in Florida with EFT,better weather and cost less than the UK.
Perhaps you could decompose from your composing!!
Hope some of this ramble helps.
M.
