Default CPL as a career

Hi everyone,

I am 35 years old. I have never flown a plane. Is it worthwhile for me to go for commercial pilot license at this age considering the yearly medicals. Please advise.

Wow, 35... I don't know man.

I'm kidding. I'm 33 tomorrow, feel like I'm in my mid 40's and act like I'm in my 20's; given that age range I still do fine on my medicals.

Well, you know how our health is in our thirties . . . I wouldn't waste a dime . . .




Age isn't a factor. Just means that you have the potential to be smarter than the rest of these kids.
