The perpetual "Am I too old? question 2010
Hi,
Im sure there are loads of posts out there regarding this but...
Im 36 years old and have just passed the OAA assessment course.
I was told at the end of the assessment that, whilst I will be fine doing the course, I will probably only have a 10% chance of getting an airline job because of my age....
Does anyone have any views on this? It will mean I have to sell my house to pay for this - which I will not hesitate to do as its a life long ambition - but it will be a tough pill to swallow if at the end of it I cant get a job.
Does any one know why an airline wouldnt take on an older FO even if they paid for their own type rating (I know this is discoraged)? (Ryanair for example)
Thanks for your help.
