I don't know the phrase buy the dip I'm afraid. You mean now is a good moment?
Thanks
airlines couldn't care less of your age, I've seen plenty of "older" FO's join our airline. The captains you fly with will probably appreciate that you've got a bit of life experience and more to talk about than just going to Uni and starting at CAE/L3 etc.
As far as a good time to train, who knows. Plan for the worst and hope for the best and you'll have a back up if **** hits the fan again anytime soon.
