Good Evening
I'm presently studying for ATPL's at Bristol.I was 32 a couple of days ago and have just had a reality attack about my age,due to all the threads being posted by people a fair amount younger than me and some at a more advanced stage of their training!:eek: I have a PPL and an FAA IR.Module 1 exams in october then module 2 exams completed by the end of the year if all goes to plan:8 .Now i've put you in the picture could some wise old souls who've maybe been in the situation that i'm in, now flying for a living please put my mind at rest and tell me that the airlines perfect recruiting age is 32(or not)!
:)I'm under no illusion that i do have a disadvantage in comparison to pilots 10 years my junior,but i would be very grateful if you could shed some realistic light on my options from your personal experience or anyone you know or know of who've had success storys or nightmares!Not too many of the latter please!Please put my mind at rest!! ;)
