Maybe you can also elaborate about the HOTSTART difference, helicopter vs fixt wing eg how would a PT6 start different? Since you have 695 posts you could make a constuctive contribution.
It appears that once you are over 40 you become overqualified and unemployable. Maybe some managers are insecure and afraid that an aviation professional with 20 years experience detects their mistakes and doesn't believe in some of the management fairy tails anymore.

Wow... if you talk like that... I don't think the problem is that you are overqualified.
