career options

[joy1982]

hello , I am in a state of confusion. I always wanted to join air force but I could not due to some reason.I shifted my eye on civil aviation.
But my financial condition does not support the cost for a CPL course. I came to know about different cadet pilot programes. Most of them are not recruiting international candidates. I have a stable job but I am not satisfied as I lost interest on what i do. I have good knowldge about military aircraft.can you suggest me a career where I can use my knowldge. I am 26 & can not join Indian airforce(my natinality is Indian) as l am little old for that.

Where are your armies and may I count them?

Army & Navy have their age criteria which does not match with my current age.

Is there any Foreign Air force whereI can apply?

I'm surprised that the Indian military's age requirement is so low, in the United States, I think the maximum age is around 29 (correct me if I'm wrong) and higher for the Army. If you're interested in airline cadet programs, take a look at Cathay Pacific's program: http://www.cathaypacific.com/cpa/en_INTL/careers/flying/cadetpilot. It is now open to all nationalities. Etihad Airways also has an international cadet program, but it is not currently hiring. I suspect that it may be hiring again in 2010, but that's just speculation on my part. Additionally, I have heard that several Indian airlines have cadet programs for Indian citizens, but I have not researched them or anything, so I'm not sure about any specifics with them. Hope this helps!
