huby The only advice I can offer you is to have realistic expectations. It is the key to being happy in this business in my humble opinion. I was hired at 32, and while I may easily see the left seat in a narrow body aircraft (737, A320), I probably will never see the captain's seat on a 777. But that's ok, I'm more than happy retiring on the right seat of a wide, or depending on the life style, on the left seat of a narrow. At your age in the US you will definetely see the left seat of an RJ, and possibly the right seat of a narrow; but probably not the left seat. So be realistic and honest with yourself. Best of luck. |

SkyHigh You only live once, go for it! If you don't make it you can at least say you tried. |
I couldnt say better

There is a story about a 70 year old lady that wanted to go to law school. All her friends told her she was too old to become a lawyer. Then one day a friend said to her, "In 5 years from now you will be 75. Do you want to be a 75 year old lawyer or a 75 year old something else"? She started law school the next week. The question is for you: In 5 years you will be 42, do you want to be a 42 year old electrical engineer or a 42 year old airline pilot? There are 42 year old pilots getting hired on a regular basis at most airlines. Don't dupe yourself into thinking your age will be a factor - It's more about the motivation and commitment. Better get studying! the only limit is you not your age |
