Some sage advice here, applicable to many careers, and I wish the best of luck to the young lad.
I've just stumbled across the forum while searching for PPL advice, and I'll ask the question quickly here rather than wasting a thread;
My son is 42 years old and wants to change career to become an airline pilot. What are the chances?
Oh, alright, my son is only 2, it's for me, and, not really. But is there a realistic age cutoff to start in commercial aviation?
Is there any point in an old duffer getting any commercial licenses after PPL with attachments, other than just for the fun of it, I'm thinking along the lines of NGO bush-volunteer, or semi-commercial photography flights, glider tow-launches and so on, perhaps even taking a career break. Maybe I should stick to the paragliding.
What if my son is interested when he's older, will everything be flown by computer by then? I image freight and combat might be.
Sorry a bit off topic and light, but it's Friday, for us 9-5ers.
