Someone interested in becoming a pilot?

Don't laugh.

My best friend's bloke is in the process of being made redundant.

He's 46 with 28 years at the same company.

He's in line for about £28k tax free severance pay and he's saying he always wanted to be a pilot

I told him I'd ask questions amongst those who know, i.e you lot

So, here goes:

(1) is he too old?
(2) would £28k get him enough training to get a licence to fly commercials?
(3) are there actually any jobs going if he were to obtain said qualifications?
(4) what salary etc would he be looking at?

Thanks in advance
