Hi all,

I'm 36 years old and I'm wondering if it would be possible to become a
professional pilot. I've never taken a flight lesson - is it
possible, or am I dreaming?


Friend of mine got his first airline job, for Northwest Airlink, in his
40s. He probably started flying around his mid-30s. He's now a Captain
flying the Canadair Regional Jet.

Now's probably not a great hiring time for the airlines, but these
things are cyclical, and by the time you've enough hours hiring might be
up again.
