Hi everyone,
I really need someone to be blunt and honest with me here.
In 2008 I joined NATS and trained to become an ATCO, almost validated and then for personal reasons had to give it up which broke my heart as I loved it.
I'm in a decent job just now earning a good wage but really miss the aviation side of things. I have never flown an aircraft but I'm earning enough money to start learning.
Realistically, is it worth my while, at the age of 32, to a) start training to become a pilot and b) expect a fruitful career as a commercial airline pilot?
As mentioned previously, I really miss the ATC side of things but now my life has settled down a bit, I'm considering getting my PPL and taking it from there.
All opinions welcome!
