Mam ur conversation skills is so smooth. Ur accent I just love it. I wanna be a pilot too..could u plz give me some tips and tricks on how to improve our conversation skills

[@CNTAA]

Thank you.. it's just reading, practicing and persistence.. One trick that I can give you is, start thinking in English. We usually do the thinking / self talk in our native locale. If you choose to deliberately change that to english, you'll surely get better at communication in that particular language. While thinking, if you can't find a word for something that you wanna frame, just look up the word. You'll increase vocabulary too. Let me know if that helps. Good luck!!

Hello ma'am. I'm an Indian citizen (woman) soon will complete 34 in July 2022. I couldn't pursue my passion or flying due to finances. I have worked and saved some money now to start my training. Can I become a pilot in India at this age as you mentioned one should complete training before 32? Is there any chance of getting job outside India after age of 35? Please suggest. Thank you..

[@g0dfree291]

In my opinion you shouldn't start now as you're almost 34. As ma'am already said, almost all of the airlines dont take freshers above the age of 35. But even if there are so many adversities, you can still do it. You can work as an instructor or something and then try to get into an airline. I can tell you one thing, its going to be stressful. So please make sure you're financially stable.

[@CNTAA]

Exactly what I'd reply to this question. Thank you SQUALL!! @Twilight this is for you... In addition to what SQALL mentioned, my two cents on this would be, Airlines recruit fresher CPL holders (200hrs CPL) until about 35. 37 if type rated. But for someone who's 34, it's a longer path. By 36 the candidate will finish CPL. then the Pilot will need to work as an instructor until he/she gets ATPL as an Instructor. In India salary of flying school instructors are lesser (relative to cost of pilot training). Approximately it'll take about 4 years of flying as an Instructor before meeting requirements for ATPL. After you get ATPL, yes, Airlines can recruit you even if you are 40. Because you are an experienced Pilot and not a fresher. Should you do it? It's completely upto you. All I could say is that it's not going to be easy. So if you must do it, if you do have that strong calling, yes you can. But buckle up, coz it's a long ride starting at the age 34. Please do not consider any statements as personal comments. Everything mentioned here is in good faith and not to hurt anyone's feelings.
