dude, its 3-4 years, if you want it, the airlines that is, then go get it! So, you'll be 40-41, with 5K tt, 2K pic turbine, and 2 type ratings + whatever you build in the next four years! I think you have the hard part down, geting quality time, I'm on the other side, got a degree but have barely started flying . . . In my graduating class there was a couple that were a couple in their 80s, your never too old to go. . . it comes down to how bad do you want it, its very doable
