Am I Too Old?????
Please be as brutally honest as you like!!!
I have a friend who is 45, lives in the UK and is trying to decide whether or not to pursue a heli career over here.
A little history - He currently has a a FAA CPL/Instrument/CFI/CFII around 570 hours (R22/44) with about 70 on a jet ranger. This has been over a period of 10 years and is now back in the UK after unsuccessfully trying to stay in the USA because of visas etc. Last flew just under a year ago.
At his age is it worth going for the JAA CPL(H), or will companies view him as over the hill in preference of the younger pilots.
He does get some dispensation for having a foreign license for the CPL flight training and for the IR conversion if what i read is correct but would still be a large chunk of change.
Anyone here done this?
Your thoughts are appreciated.
Thanks
Pete
