The perpetual 'Am I too old?' thread
Hi everyone,
I am 37 years of age, have a son and a mortgage, plenty of experience in management and customer service.
I have been fiddling about for the last 7 years achieving PPL, 150 hours and a night rating plus an 8th of the ATPL course.
Now is the time to decide to put everything at risk and go for it or forget about being a pilot and have some life long remorse!
I currently live in the UK but happy to move my family (they consent too!) anywhere in the world, as far as there is education and healthcare available.
I am planning to finance for a type rating and not bothered whether I end up flying a jet or a turboprop as far as I fly, I am all too aware of the salary difference between jet and turboprop.
So the questions is what are the odds of me getting into a commercial cockpit considering all of the above?
