Shouldn't someone be on here by now complaining about people who just do this for fun? Accepting the substandard pay and dragging the "professionals" down just because they want to follow a dream?

I have 562 hours - 431 PIC - 332 multi - but only 17.5 of actual IFR. I need to get a commercial and do an IPC....

I hear ya, like the guys that say the low pay at Colgan is ok because their wives have a good job blah blah blah............

I can't believe the Giants blew this game.......................

We had a 58 year old guy start on 11-27-07 S5 class, before the age 65 rule passed. His birthday is in January too. If the age 65 rule didn't pass, he would owe the company money.

Sorry, but what makes you think that I, or others like me, wouldn't be professionals. Trust me after being in the corporate world for 25 years doing a job that you like and consider "fun" would be a breath of fresh air.

The giants did not blow the game, brady and the pats won it.

giants "ray finkled" this game! nice throw manning:rolleyes:

I read a lot of the back and forth on the site to learn about the vocation that is being an airline pilot. I too will be retiring from my "first" career at 46 years old and will be looking into avaition as a "second" career. Best of luck and keep the rest of us up to date on how it goes with your new career.

Don't talk about my Raiders. I know, I know. I still love 'em.
Anyways, Over40 go for it. I'd rather make little money with a job I enjoy, than have a career I hate with a lot of money. I right now happen to have a job I hate, that doesn't pay squat. It's enough for my bills, tuition, and flight training.

to contribute to this thread my initial class had one guy who was 46 years old (quit 2 days before the checkride) and one guy who was 40
