Worldly wise!
At my Qantas interview there was a fantastic lady who was in her fifties (as well as a few others who were probably over 40...although its hard to tell!). She told me that she had been forced into redundancy at BA a few years previously and was desperate to get back into it. I believe they have removed the upper age limit with any airline so theres nothing to stop Mrs RB! I reckon any decent airline who welcome a more mature candidate with open arms....you cant substitute a good bit of life experience! Good luck to her, she sounds like a perfect candidate.
