Hi JJ

So you need to chase that dream I did at 40 plus now sitting on a F-ATPL/IRT /MCC 1350 hours and I am now fixing SLUICE machines B.A may call me tomorrow, if they do I may consider a position with them!
Would I do it again well all I can say is without a doubt, will you be respected for all that you will go through to get a licence not to mention the money the answer is NO.
If you train as a Doctor or Solicitor etc that would be different matter as they get a good wage to start with and respected from the start, but at the end of the day they cant fly you can (sorry docs and sols that can)
If you dont follow your dream it will mess up your life and if you do it may well
I wish you all the very best please keep me informed

Regards

Tom
