hi there,

ok i must admit, i am in my first half twenties but another kollegue with no flying experience who was taken on that b738 is in his early thirties and also got the job. some airlines recognize personal life experience as much as an advantage for them to hire as a young candidate who can work for them more years.
i know it's easy for me now to speak as i finally got the job. but at the time and months of unemployment i thought the other way around. i thought that maybe because i am quite young i was not being hired. i attendet at one interview with a major carrier and of us 10 candidates the only two who were taken were in their thirties. so all of you who are older should focuse on your advantages like life experience, seriousnesss and committment rather than being full of negative thoughts.

regards
