Sorry but some of this is horse $hit. Whatever you may have heard, being over 35 isn't the end of the world. I'm 38, low hrs (sub 500 when I started) and am now an F/O with a LCC. Furthermore, I have just had an interview and sim check for a large (v large) flag carrier. I may, or may not, get the job but I have been interviewed and sim checked at the age of 38 for an jet job with just over 600 hrs. On pprune and ppjn people talk about their personal experiences. Generally, you hear more about negative experiences than positive. Apply for the jobs and make your own mind up.
