STANDTO,
Hi I am almost in a similar situation. Age 32,hospital doctor, married (no kids) and desparate to fly commercially. Unfortunatelly my wife is completely against this. She is slowly coming round though.Have had a trial lesson and loved it. I am starting with PPL over the next few months/six months then modular route. Hopefully ATPL in 2-3 yrs and hopefully Gulf War II does not put a spanner in the works. If I could quit my job tomorrow I would but I need the money to pay for my training!!
Good luck to you sir and keep us informed of your progress.
