Hi,
I apologise if my request seems a little basic, this is my first posting on this forum.
I'm looking for some advice on how to get started in a career as a commercial pilot! I am 27 and currently completing a PhD in a totally none related subject. I have been in academia now for eight years starting with a BSc and moving to my current situation. Five or six years ago I was on the ball regarding training schemes etc. but I'm afraid now I'm not. It seems I took the right option for me at that time and it took me away from aviation! Am I too old at 27 to expect to become a commercial pilot from scratch? I have no money (student
)and I have very little hands-on flying experience.
If someone can give me an idea of whether this is a pipe dream or not and maybe some information regarding where to start I would be eternally grateful.
Cheers
