Should probably start a new thread to really make the point but here goes anyway.
I'm 38 yrs old with 600-odd hrs and about 200-300 on a medium-sized TP. Last week I went to Cranebank for their DEP assessment and today I was told I'm now in their hold pool. With not very many hours I'll be on my first jet type-rating at the age of 38. And by the way, I did my entire training by modular not integrated so to re-iterate:
1. Integrated isn't neccessarily the only route to the majors.
2. 38 yrs old is not considered to be too old by BA.
3. Having thousands of hrs isn't always a pre-requisite.
4. BA, for one, isn't biased against turbo-pilots.
5. Luck coupled with hard work, determination and perhaps some ability can get you there.
Stick with it, good luck to all and don't believe all you hear from the schools or mates who have mates who said etc
