Just reflect, if you are able, on the age discrimination thread and keep away from my life management issue
But you're telling us about your very personal problems: . . . "I can sit back and watch my life fall apart, all the struggles and studies for nothing, lose my house. . . "

Age discrimination, or "age preferences" have no legal recognition in the middle east and asia. For ladies, age 30 already is old by HGK standards; that's why you won't find those potato shaped grandma flight attendants of United Airlines aboard asian carriers.

For guys like you, applying as one age-54 copilot would raise competency issues. Why are you still a copilot at age 54? Why would you be applying as a copilot with 6,000 hours pic? Why, at age 54, with 13,000 total hours, do you have more hours as a copilot than as a captain?

As an experienced captain applicant, age 54 DEC [Direct Entry Captain] would not be age sensitive.
