Default Re: New user: re 31 Years too old?

At barley 31 I had my PPL and Instrument ratings, making about the same money and having the same mortgage as you. I quit my corporate job and finished up my ratings, becoming a CFI. Now I am 32, almost 33, and I am an FO at a regional. No, not too old.

Most regrets in life are from things that we did not do. Even if after you make this change and spend a few years accomplishing this goal, you decide that its not challenging enough on a day-to-day basis, or is not the lifestyle you want, or you like small planes better, whatever... at least you tried it. You will still be able to go back to your other career, even if you have to start a little further back than you were. You won't go through life wondering, "what if?"
