I think there is some confusion on this thread - no one builds hours at age 59. Build them for what - to get a CPL ? Once your are 60 you cannot legally fly single crew commercial flights - even with a CPL . Can't think of an airline who would take a low time 60 years old with no commercial experience for two crew ops.
