I'm 31 years old and I've been a cop for nearly 10 years. I've always loved flying and I have my commercial license and instrument rating. However, I haven't flown in about 5 years due to money constraints (buying a house will do that). I've been toying with the idea of quitting my job as a police officer and trying to get hired as a pilot. My goal is to be a corporate jet pilot, but I have licenses to earn and time to build. I don't have my multi license and only about 275 hours tt. I'm considering going to a flight school to finish my degree and get my CFI/CFII.
My question is: Am I too old to be considering a career as a pilot? If it takes me three years to get my degree and several years to build competitive time while instructing, that could push me to 36, or even 40. What would a corporation think about someone that old.
Also, if I decide to do this, what's the best way to earn the ratings and build the hours I need to be competitive? Do corporations require a B.A. degree?
