Hi, Jester--welcome to JC. If flying is your dream, GO FOR IT!

I know a few pilots who started even later than you and are now FOs at both the regional and higher levels. I started my career as a Flight Attendant at the tender age of 50. As long as you have the desire, there's nothing you can't do! There's a saying I read a while ago that stuck with me, and for the life of me I can't remember the exact words. Perhaps someone here can help me out. The gist of it is if you think you're too old to pursue a dream but don't, you'll still get older and won't have anything to show for it.

Good luck and always believe in yourself and follow your heart.
