I'll be in the same boat as you when i retire and go into aviation as my second career...Actually, I'll be 41 when i start my second career in aviation. I'm not worried about it at all...I've worked hard , have served my country, i'll have a retirement so making ends meet won't be an issue...Like you I'm not interested in the $250K per year captain job...I'll be happy working at a regional...
I'm set on going thru All ATPs - on this board and thru others i've heard a lot of good things about them...
Its nice to see another person jumping into aviation after retirement...
V/r,
Cajuns Fan...
