Am I too old

Hi all,


First post here, I am a 37 year old married man who has always wanted to become a professional pilot. I am finally in a position where I can make this happen. My intention is to complete an integrated program in as short a timeframe as possible and have come across one company in Spain offering a zero - fATPL in nine months. Can anybody please advise if this is a practical timeframe or even better if anybody has actually completed their training in this period of time. I understand all the pitfalls regarding getting a job at my age etc etc, however I have noticed that certain airlines prefer more mature candidates so I am willing to give it a try. I really just want to know if this short timeframe is practicable with the correct amount of study and determination.
Thanks to all in advance.
