I am a career federal employee at the senior executive level. I will be retiring in six to ten years old at the age of 50 or 54. Is it possible for me to fulfill my lifelong dream to be a pilot in an airline either with a major, regional or corporate airline? At present I am finishing my PPL and have intentions to have my employer pay for my training to the commercial level. My employer operates numerous single/multi engine, turbine helos and business jets. Afterwards I intend to pay for my training after that to the ATP level. Is this worthwhile if I am to retire at the age stated above? Any advice from anyone in a position to know is welcomed.

Thanks,
Nicky NueGuy
