Thanks everyone.
It’s a really tough call to be honest. I’m in a good job but have always wanted to fly commercially....
My reason for being a little late is the change in the CAA colour vision test.
It is a genuine passion for me but I do have to realise the risks. I was a little concerned that the info I had been given at the flying school might be a little 'biased against' as part of their results rely on placing their graduates. A job which I fully appreciate is a little more difficult with an older candidate.
They did say at the end of all the bad news that there should be a fair number of jobs available when I finish, it’s just that I may not be eligible for them. On the other hand, they also said I may well be an option for private jet companies (such as Net Jets).
Obviously a lot of thought will have to go into this over the next couple of months!!!
Thank you all again for your help.
