Introducing Myself
 
Hi all! Bob E. here. I am 63...that's the bad news (for me). I have this crazy idea that I might want to get a pilot job! I am currently a senior exec and don't care about the money. This is to fulfill a lifelong passion.

I have no illusion I could work for a major, but some folks including my CFII have told me I might still be able to get work as a pilot for an airline like Surf Air or as a Corporate pilot.

My question is, since I can pass the medical, is my dream realistic?

My stats:

* IFR rated, working on Commercial
* 750 hours
* 92 on the new IFR test and passed oral / practical, all on first try
* Own a Cirrus SR22 and fly IFR a lot
* Salary is a non-issue...not expecting to fly for a major or to make a lot of money

Is there anything out there for me? Thanks in advance for any advice!

Hi everyone,
Registered yesterday. I'm a med lab tech in Cleveland, OH and in the USAFR. Only have flying experience as a passenger and took a discovery flight 2 months ago and absolutely loved it. Looking to transfer and finish my undergrad degree in biology medical technology and aeronautics at Kent State. I'm hoping to commission in the USAFR and fly as a civilian while working part-time/PRN as a medical technologist as a side hustle

Welcome everyone! I hope you will post questions or answers or comments on the Forums where you see fit. We're a community here where we try to help out when we can, and have fun and friendship along the way.

I trust that, like me, you will find yourself drawn back here at all stages of your aviation journey. In the past 12 years, I have watched young people start in gliders or flight school and enjoyed their stories from the cockpit and around the world.
