I am 36 now. I started training at 33 (prior to this I had done 10 hours to see if I realy would like it as a job)Finished training at 35 with 201 hours, got a job with a major a month later. Now have the best job in the world and 1000 hours (800 jet) under my belt.. .. .Do your medical, and then think about it realy hard because there are lots of horror stories that are true out there. Then either give it up or put your heart and soul into it and go for it but dont be half hearted about it. . .. .All the best to you I hope your dream works out, they realy can do, they did for me.. .. .Deep Float. .How do you work out that you only earn money for an airline as a Capt? I am only am mere F/O but do exactly the same job except for when the s*** hits the fan I dont make the final decisions. I am cheaper than a Capt and do the same job(95%).. .. .An F/O doesnt just sit back take the weather and drink Coffe you know!. . . . <small>[ 17 March 2002, 07:49: Message edited by: batty ]</small>
