  • Am I too old to become a PILOT? | Change your career and enjoy your life
    This is a question I get at least every month. I have many clients who have successfully changed careers later in their age to being a pilot.
    My name is Keith D'Mello and I am the #1Airline Pilot Interview Preparation coach in Canada. I've helped over 200 pilots get hired at large airlines and regionals very quickly with a high score. I cover pilot behavioral and technical interview questions.
    In addition, I provide the following pilot exam courses to help you pass. They include:
    IATRA 2 crew practice exams
    INRAT instrument rating practice exams
    PSTAR student pilot permit practice exams.
    Also, visit my website www.pilotdmello.com for free pilot job posting in Canada.

    This is a question I get at least every month. I have many pilot clients who have successfully changed careers later in their age to being a pilot.
    Most of them are in their 40's and 50's and are now flying passengers for a living.
    Book a career call with Keith and he can plan your pilot career.

    Hey Keith. I’m in the same boat as your mentioned friend. Been a journeyman welder for a while now. Turned 40 this year and now I’m 50 hours away from getting my commercial license. Hope to get to at least to the right seat of a 737 some day. Thanks for posting this video. Gives me even more confidence that I’ll succeed at achieving my dream

      May I know how much totally costs to get you the final commercial license plus training costs? Thanks

    My personal take is the earlier you learn, the better. The training and work schedules play hell on your physical and mental condition; aviation is a young person's game. You need good vision, good concentration, rapid reactions and strong physical and mental endurance. Your health is a big thing: can you pass and maintain a First Class Flight physical?

    If your arms and legs are long enough to give full movement of the controls and you can pass the medical then you are NOT too old to learn to fly.

    Thanks for the video Keith, so I have time lol I thought I was too old at 30. Even if your 40+ , flying for an airline is a life experience.

      I didn't get my first real flying job until 27. You are young.

    I’m goin on 41 this August but but I’ve been doing helicopter maintenance for about 18 years and I got a PPL about 8 years ago and stopped a long time ago because it’s too expensive and still have some debt. But I’m really getting the itch to go all the way this time with flying but my concern is going into more debt to pay for the training. I could try and get creative and do it by networking with guys I know that have planes and maybe also trade work for flight time but I’m afraid that may be a slower process.

    And what if you just want to be a paid pilot? Like flying feeders for FedEx? Float planes in the Caribbean? Things along those lines? Just needs to pay decent. Not expecting a $250k/yr legacy captain job with delta.

    Keith. Great advice. I think you are doing a great job. Keep up the great work. Having said that, there is negativity out there. Pilots, they are a unique bunch.

    I was worrying constantly about starting my pilot training at 24 thinking that most who start by 18 have a huge headstart and would have high positions before hitting 30. Ive decided to go for it anyway.

    what about starting at 60 i dont think I want a airline pilots job I have heard cargo but im thinking missions and as a fulltime CFI catering to verterans in Canada. the costs aree freakin stupid lol the fuel and parts maintenance alone change daily so in one year your flight school ( neverr go down ) but will fluctuate radically due to the maintenence costs and fuel. Because my goal isnt to be a airline pilot at my age would it still be worth it?? is there opportunity

      if you have money, and don't expect to make a return of investment at that age, then no one has the right to stop you from pursuing what you want.
