do i still have hope?
lost PPL student...please advice..
hello,
appreciate if anyone can give me a light here,
I did my PPL 6 years ago...done almost 80 hours.....but never completed it as i didnt take the test coz i stopped and started and stopped a couple of times along the years...completed all my papers (but i think its not valid now and have to retake) done all cross country too,hence the hours build up....i didnt do very well in my SPM,oh by the way i am 32 years old this year...yeah age another factor...ok after 10 years of saving up and investing my money,i have gathered now about 400K cash....been working as a cabin crew for the past 12 years...i really want to fly jets/props in an airline again someday and not serve coffee tea anymore someday as my career...what are the odds?.....i plan to finish up my PPL at a local flying club and get it done with these few months...
what are the possibilities:-
1 - getting into a malaysian flying school to continue with CPL/IR with a valid PPL (spm 2 credits only,maths and english and passes for the rest/science subjects)
or shud i
2- spend half my money in Australia and do CPL/IR (since wont look at SPM) and try to do conversion in malaysian flying school when i get back (if i can get into msian flying school with foreign CPL) by spending another 100k
3- or just forget my dream and just carry on serving coffee and tea till i retire....
can someone please shed some wise opinion?...thanks

What kaptn said. If it's your dream, go for it - there is no worse feeling than regret. Also you're really not that old. I have heard of people getting their first license in their late 40's.
Good luck!

thanks and really appreciate the encouragement,but quite unfortunately in malaysia,the department of civil aviation still wanna look into our high school results even if u have a degree/diploma or the full licence after doing on our own...to get into an airline or even to get into a flying school here in malaysia,perhaps to even complete CPL/IR n ATPL...can someone from malaysia with some experience on this share with me some opinion before i seriously trash all my dreams in the drain?
