You will see the best aviation has to offer this way. There is no way to have an airline career past 50 without major heartache and you are too old to do it now. It's a young man's game. I entered aviation at 35 and even then had the sense to see it was too late to make it work, yet I have enjoyed the second best (and possibly the best) aviation has to offer by teaching, testing, and designing airplanes.
