28 too late to start?
Hi all
I am a low hour PPL holder for 5 years. Being disgruntled in my current career as a public servant for several years I have been considering doing what I always wanted to do, but never being fortunate enough to come from a well off family to do it.
Now at 28 (not far off 29) having made my own way with a mortgage, it may well be possible for me to complete the training up to a frozen ATPL over to next 24-36 months by the modular route.
Will I be too old at 31-32 in reality to get a look in with any airline? This will take a considerable amount of time and money to do as we all know. I just don't want to go ahead, where at the end of it all, I'll only be able to get a low paid flying instructors job.
I am aware FO jobs to start don't pay too handsomely. I have a business on the side at the moment growing which I hope would take care of the shortfall by then.
Advice is much appreciate from anyone who knows about the airline industry how it is now and where it is going in the future.
