I had a 45 year old, a 53 year old and even a 58 year old in my new hire pilot class at SkyWest. What do they all have in common? They all still fly for SkyWest, love what they do and don’t regret the career change (with exception of the 58 year old dude as he has since retired)
That being said by all means follow your dreams! Even with the industry in its current state, by the time you reach part 121 hiring mins the regionals will likely be hiring again.
