Hi JmDt
No way is 25 too old to begin professional lessons! At least I hope it aint cos I'm 25 and have been trying to get motivated to start my ATPLs for two years now.
I'm going to gear up to do my IMC this year in 'sunny' Northern Ireland (Hi Alec...it always seems sunnier in Dublin!) Probably my night rating too. That'll get me back in the groove for learning. Hopefully by next year, I'll have enough saved that with a sodding huge loan I can go all out and get that frozen ATPL...
Good luck lads.
