Sometimes the desire for this kind of irrational change at such an age could be indicative of dissatisfaction in other areas of your life. Making such a drastic move would most likely destroy other parts of your life as a result. Maybe you should consider what those areas are and address them directly. It makes no sense at all to leave a career that pays well and provides so much. Aviation is best as a hobby. Buy the ratings and get a Bonanza or something. You have already made your big choices in life. To start over at 40 would be a disaster. If you have kids it would be totally irresponsible as well.
