Euro,
On the other hand, a friend of mine aged 43 has just secured a job with Ryanair. He has 220hrs total time, basic cpl/ir etc. Yes he's having to pay 30k euros for his type rating, but by the time he's 50, he'll be a Captain with 6000hrs on the B737. And he will still have another 10 to 15 years flying left, maybe longer if there are future legislation changes.
It is a huge gamble no matter what your age but I will agree with the points made by others in this thread that the older you are, the harder it is to get that all important first job.
You pays your money, you takes the choice...................
Good luck whatever you decide
