Non-airline jobs for the older pilot

Just getting to the end of CPL - already have the MEIR, Class 1 medical, good ATPL scores, plus sign offs for SLOP, glass, tailwheel, .

At my age (51) my life will not suit airline rostering. I'd love to fly A330s/B737s but no one is going to offer me terms which satisfy both parties.

With the commercial ticket, I want (arguably need) a "proper" job, i.e., paid PIC hours. I'm just not sure what that job will be or how I find it.

I think I slot nicely into roles others want to move on from, e.g., younger folks wanting to move onto airlines.

If you exclude the airlines, where would you start?

Who should I call?

(I'm not entertaining the FI route….yet.)
