Default age factor

I was also wondering about my age...im 31 yrs old i turn 32 in Sept. I started my PPL in mid Jan and half way done on 2/13/07...for you experience vets out there...do you think i have a shot at living a comfortable life in the airline industry?

Thankyou...

I know this horse has been kicked around a few times...i appreciate your patience.

determined,

You will have (once you go through the ranks) about 25 plus years in the airline industry if you start now. That is plenty of time to get started.

The only thing is, if you are doing well (salary-wise) at the moment, you will have to prepare yourself, and your family for a pay cut and they need to understand that you will be "eating, breathing, and sleeping" flying from now on...

Good luck. Let us know if we can help any more.
