Forget it....2 years to train then 2-3 years unemployed then if you get break 3-4 years flying some piece of **** getting less than people get for working in Tesco`s and by that time your 44-45 great well done...living in some rented house as you had to relocate as you dont live near the airport your based at..spending all your time looking at your roster trying to work out if it will be possible to go home anytime soon and for how long.
Even if I was 40+, that would never stop me. Flying a "POS" is better than not flying at all and making $50 million a year. For me it's never been and never will be about the money. If you want to fly coz it pays well (when you make 744 captain), you are a very sad individual. (and by "you" I am referring to anyone).

I would go for it.
