Hi Everyone. I will try to make my post as brief yet informative as possible, so you can help me out.

I’ve always wanted to be a pilot since a very early age. I’ve always been reading about airplanes and learning more everyday and I was a crazy home simmer. I couldn’t afford to start training after high school graduation. I had a bachelor degree in business management and I started making my way in productions plants firms.

At 32 now, I realized that I might be wasting my time doing what I don’t enjoy as a job. Then this idea of “its never too late hit me”. I am single, have savings that can make me afford to start now. I am an Egyptian who lives in Egypt. I asked my flag carrier airline if they accept older pilots and they have an age restriction of 28, but yet again I can work anywhere as long as I will be flying.

Am I crazy to shift entirely my career at this age and leave my secure paying job? Is it doable? How long will it take me to have an ATP license? How much will it cost me (have around 60k $ in savings)I guess cheapest place for me would be the US? Can I make it to airlines? From where should I start?

I know nothing is definitive in this world, I might get lucky or not. But given the facts, what are the chances to start training at 32 and seeking a career in a “foreign country regional/airlines”.

Cheers
