What's wrong with being 40 when you start training?
I've been reading through the PPRuNe threads for some time and have just registered so I can vent my frustration...
I cannot understand why airlines reject oldies with a fresh FATPL? Why does happen? Surely a new pilot at 40 still has 20 years of flying in him/her ...that's a significant number of years.
Why is it that a twenty year old is a more-appealing prospect to an established carrier?
I am just about to begin my PPL and hope to go all the way if things work out. I am trying to ignore all the ageism that is rife in certain training companies otherwise I'll continue to procrastinate in the same way I've been for the last three or four years.
Any guidance as to get through the next couple of years is very welcome - in any form...
