I'm 51, am I too old?
Yes I bloody am, too old to put up with the crap involved with being an airline pilot in this day and age. Having said that, I'm too old to put up with the crap with being any sort of pilot at the moment. The complicated reality is that I cannot avoid being a pilot as it's the only thing I'm qualified for.
I know it's sacreligious for you dreamers out there but I've reached a point where not flying is a good day.
My biggest dream is a steady income, organised hours and a decent pension. If I had that flying could be fun again.
