Firstly apologies...
I'm new to this forum, and although I've attempted to find what I was looking for using the search feature, I was buried by stuff that didn't seem relevant
I'd like to ask a question however that's bound to have been asked loads of times before, so if someone can respond by posting a link (rather than abuse for being thick for not finding anything using the search) that'd be great!
I'm 29, and aside from two trial/introductory flights I've had no formal flying training. I've recently had laser eye surgery which has brought me within the limits for a JAA class 1 medical and am hoping to pursue my PPL. My end goal would be to fly for a living, preferably for an airline, but I'd consider pretty much any flying job. So am I too old to even consider flying for an airline for a living?
I wouldn't be able to study quickly, I'd have to go the modular route (mortgage, wife etc), so by the time I'm finished would I still be employable? The recent Pilot Magazine article hinted that some pilots only qualify at the age of 35, but considering the great British weather is likely to retard the progress of my PPL (lessons would have to be at weekends/ summer evenings...) is it worth me considering?
I've rambled on... apologies again...
Any advice would be greatly appreciated
