Airline maximum recruitment age

[Laurence1]

Hello,
I'm 31 and looking into to signing up for ATPL (integrated) training with a view to becoming an airline pilot. Before I sign up, I'd like to get an idea as to what are my realistic chances of employment if I am qualified by say 33/34?

Can anyone offer advice? Any help greatly appreciated!
Kind regards,
Laurence

Age doesn't matter as i know people getting their first jobs at 38,39 and 42 years of age.
It is ultimately depending upon the person you are doing interview with and company policy. It is harder to get a spot with big names like BA,LH etc, but with the low costs there shouldn't be any problem.

If you have a look at the sticky thread at the top of the page you'll probably find these useful


Are you too old to begin training? This has been covered hundreds of times; the threads included here are just a selection!

Thanks Sparksy, very useful. Would you know how I'd find out which are the better flight training organisations?? Have been to Cabair and booked in to have a look at Oxford - I know there's also Flight Training Europe & CTC Wings...
