I DON'T want to be an airline pilot, but...
Hi guys,
So I have a career as a Software Engineer and a hobby as a flight enthusiast. Both are life long interests. I have done a few PPL lessons and I have about 20 hours flying paragliders.
Basically I am toying around with an idea to at some point in maybe the next 10-15 years to shift careers to something involving flying.
Assuming my Software Engineering pension is not going to cover me completely at age 50...
What are the option, if any, to get a commercial (non airliner) license and pick up some money doing small GA style ferry flights and hauling business folks around in small aircraft in the UK?
Is it even worth considering or just not worth it as it's the pre-retirement career for airline pilots and thus saturated?
