ATP for an 2nd Career?
Flying Gurus,
I'm a military vet on active duty who is lining the "ducks" up for a successful retirement. I'm seriously considering Airline Traning Professionals for my training to Airline Transport Pilot standards; looking for prospect jobs to hold while in post retirement status...i.e., second career.
I'm married with kids. She's used to me being away for long periods of time, but this time I don't think I will be getting shot at. At retirement time I will be 39. I've spoke with reps from ATP who say that's not old or too late to start an aviation career.
What do you all think? What are the Pro's vs. Con's?
I've flown Cessna’s for a 40+hrs, nothing fancy. I'm pretty fresh to flying, but have a devoted passion for it. I'm stuffing nickels, dimes and dollars aside for training to mitigate debt as much as practical.
Let me know your thoughts, experience and suggestions.
Lew
