Mr Garrison.

I dissagree. In my experience age has little bearing on job prospects in GA.

Older people may use their age to get the job, but in reality once a good hour base has been reached they are just as likely to leave in search of carreer progression as someone of younger age.

If you are going to head North dont just limit youirself to Broome, as in reality there are only 3 operators who employ lower time pilots, head all over the Kimberly and up to Darwin as so many do at this time of the year.

If you are not far of finishing CPL wait!, and then go with the intentions of basing yourself in these areas, as there are many people, some with many hours already basing themselves in these parts of the world waiting for that break.

I have only come across a couple of operators who regard age highly.

I am sure you have heard many times before, attitude is as far as im concerned much more important.

All the best. CS.
