Changing Careers after 50!

I’m pretty sure the mentors will chime in on this. The question, “If it’s worth it?” Ultimately depends on you and your goals. It takes roughly 2-3 years to obtain all your ratings and reach the required 1500 hours to be hired by an airline. Once you land a job at a regional, you would have around 8-9 years to fly. In that time you could upgrade to captain (depending on the circumstances) and have a nice career. I suggest looking at the FAQ section, as there is plenty of information regarding this.

Am I too old to be an Airline pilot??
