DeeTee, brilliant post, puts it all in a nutshell.
I myself am doing the bicycle in the rain thing at the moment, and part time ATPL's after a year in the States to get Com/IR.
That feeling when you get into your uniform for the first time, then I recon you know its for real. How can it not be worth it!
I find myself rubber nekking every time I hear aeroplane noise, I dont have a choice but to go for it, the regret in later life would kill me.
McGee go for it ! , im 28 and still at least 6 month away from frozen ATPL with only about 250 hours.
I know a Lufthansa pilot who only started at 31, and is now in command of an A320.
Good Luck Bloke!
