Hello everyone 
like a lot of people posting here I'm considering a career in flying, but I have a few questions... forgive me for the stupid ones... I'm at the shallow end of the learning curve.
1) I understand that there are different CPL's required for different regions around the world - is there any one place that is better to train than any other? or what are the bridging examinations of say u train in Australia then want to fly in Europe or the states?
2) I have read a lot on various flight school websites about the length of time from training to earning - realisticly what can be expected? From having never had alesson to paid job as a pilot/officer.
3) likewise a lot fo the flight school websites make a note about age (ie start as early as you can etc) - well Im 30, and want to fly - is it really going to matter by the time my training is done and Im out there living the dream so to speak?
anyway,
nice to meet you all

Welcome to Pprune!
However the questions you ask have been done over and over again.
I could easily move this post and merge it with one of the other existing threads. However there are really three main themes so i will leave it here and ask you to do a bit of research.
You could start at the sticky above about 'Read before posting' and work your way through that lot!
In the meantime I am going to lock this thread to save the a plethora of similar advice
