Guess I am the old guy so far for this thread. I am 36. Took my discovery flight the 11th of Feb this year and should have my PPL before the end of May. Hoping to finish this month though.

Started at 17, and went from PPL to MEI by 20. A little under 2 years later, I am now finishing up training at a commuter airline.

Private and Instrument @ 35 yrs. Commercial and CFI-I and MEI at 36 (this year). Should be FO bye summers end or early fall with the way the mins are dropping. In my case, 121 time is needed quickly because of my age so I might have to fly with a less desirable airline (not mesa). I guess I am making my career change at the right time. My goal also is not the majors, I am being realistic with age and hope to fly fractional after a 5 or 6 year stint with a regional.
