Hi rooshi
Did you do it? Did you actually start a new career as a pilot? I am in the same situation: I turned 41 yesterday and I am thinking about starting a new career as a pilot. But I have the same doubts as you do: That is the current and future job market situation, the costs after getting the ATPL, I mean the additional costs for needed ratings and the chances to find an airliner job at all after completing the training.
Could you please tell me about your experiences or is anyone else out there that could help us "middle-agers" about the decision to go for it or to better save ones energy, time and money...
Every tip is very much appreciated,
Mike
