Too old for training??
At 36 with a PhD and ten years in pharmaceuticals I've just decided to change course entirely and embark on an aviation career. For me this means the modular route over the next year or so (I'm only at PPL level at present). On broaching the subject of age, OATS and every other provider I've spoken to so far have said it's no problem. However, if possible I would like the opinion of professionals already in the industry (those who know the score AND haven't got a vested interest in taking money off me). I will be nearly 38 upon completion but I'll have less than 300 hours in total. I don't at present know what I can reasonable expect in terms of a future career. I know I won't walk into a shiny outfit like BA at the start but is it ever going to be likely starting this late? Any views most welcome.
