Age limitations...
Good Afternoon,
I just wanted a bit of advice from others that may have experience of this...
I'm 27 (28 in Dec) and I have flown around 30 hours of my PPL, however, due to personal debt and university, I have not flown for a few years. I am looking to pay off my debts in the next 12 months and start a fresh, with a large proportion of my wages going towards flying.
I wanted to whether or not I would still be able to get an airline job at the age of 38, if it were to take me at most 10 years to achieve all my licences? Or would airlines overlook this in favour for younger pilots? This would be my first airline job. I hope that it will be a five year plan, but assuming the worst...
Also, are there many well paid private commercial jobs out there?
Money isn't the biggest issue for me, just the love for flying. I'm currently in a trainee financial adviser role and I'm sure the financial services would provide a good career if I wanted to stay in it, but I can't help but think about flying for a career.
Let me know what you think...
