Way tooooooooooooo old

Hello, I posted a reply in the Spectators Balcony the other day to someone who was worried that he was too old at 24 to start flying!!

The answer to your Q flyingsnapper is that only you can answer it.

I met a pilot last week at London City Airport who didn't start ab initio training until he was 49. He was a captain four years later.

Experience I would guess is a good thing to bring into the industry in such a responsible job, but if you don't have airline contacts, then I would go through an FTO that has really good contacts to maximise your chances.

Otherwise you're playing a poker game ...
