Still time?
Hello.
Haven’t posted for a while, so pls bear with me.
Back between 1996 and 2006 I learned to fly. Didn’t have much money, or much time, so I’d go flying maybe once a month or so. Wanted desperately for it to be the start of a career in flying – PPL, then ATPL, then job – and I got as far as my QXL and five of the written exams but then in 2006, for a number of reasons, I stopped. Life got in the way. I didn’t get my licence.
As often happens, though, life has a habit of changing and now some 7 years later I have the chance to finish what I started. But now of course I’m a little bit older; I’m going to be 40 years old this year. Let’s assume that I get my PPL this year or perhaps next, and then rush headlong into commercial training. Let’s assume I’m in a position, say within the next 3 or 4 or 5 years, to start looking for a job as a commercial pilot.
Have I left it too late?
All thoughts, good or bad, gratefully received.
