ok i normally dont get involved in these threads cause i get tired of the pointless negativity of the people like dartagn but any way couldnt reaaly resist today. I did my PPL as a present to myself 3 weeks before my 40th birthday went home had a chat with my brilliantly understanding wife and decided to set out on my 3rd carreer. It has been total heartache misery hardwork elatio and joy throughout the process. The first job is without a doubt a nightmare to get and you have to lok far and wide to get it.
However i sit here typing this in a very nice 4 star hotel in Kuwait before heading of to the airport to my right hand seat in a boeing 757 doing long haul flying at the age of 44.
Its a long hard road but it is doable with committmitment and a very very supportive family
good luck whatever you decide
