Brett,
Have a long long think, I got my first Commercial job when I was 40 with 800hrs flying turbo props,
After 4 months I got my first Jet job and got my Command at the age of 44.
But things have changed!! If you are investing £60.000 in a business venture you want to look at the return on this amount.
The latest trend is to get people involved in training establishments ie. Mc Alpine/CTC at a fee and then give them to the airlines to earn very modest pay for 6 years, and they will do it!!!!
Better to find another couple of mates in the same situation and invest your combined monies into a CHIPPY on Blackpool prom and coin the money inn and enjoy your Arrow.
But if you are still keen then get your arse into gear and go for it rapidly, there are still some enjoyable companys like Emerald that you would enjoy.
The decision is yours and I wish you well in persuing your dream.
