Post Too Old to fly?

Soon I hit the rip old age of 33! With 250 hours a proper CAA PPL and a half finished ATPL distance learing package.. is it all to late to instruct and then progress onto the airlines.

I'd rather not pay out more if im whistling in the wind.

Your thoughts are welcome.

Certainly not to old at 33, I only really went into the airlines at 30+, though I had been flying air taxi and instructing for a few years before that - just enjoying myself to much! With a bit of luck, by the time you are properly qualified the industry will be back on an upswing.
Go for it and enjoy it. Good luck!

I agree. At 33 you still have many years of flying ahead, and it is the best job in the world.

Remember you are only as old as the woman you feel.
