anyway, Skyhigh, what working hobby will you take up at age 60? You must understand that anything other than left or right seat 121 will be just that...
I take back that snide remark Sky...I do respect your career path. I'm just doing it in reverse.
My aim is not to dull your enthusiasm but to point out that aviation has become a working hobby playground for the retired and financially independent. Ten years ago you would have never had those opportunities. Twenty years ago if you were 30 or older you were considered too old to start at the airlines. Times have changed and to your benefit however the hobby pilots disregard for actually earning a living is a part of what is helping the industries slide.
Enjoy,
