Geez guys! I started my flight training the past summer (after my 60th birthday)
You would have been but a callow youth when I got my Australian ATPL(H). at 65 and still one when I got my Chinese ATPL(H) aged 66' However I had 45 years of flying by then so I knew the score and there was no problem getting a position in either Australia or China.
There are lots of pilots in Australia who have started flying training very late in life but they have done it more as a hobby, not to support themselves.
