@ NZ X man
My recommendation would be to apply to some of the work out here in SE Asia, I know there is an age limit but apply anyway and see what happens, I just had a couple of friends hired as DEC's on B737's with no type or time on the A/C into a job that had a minimum of 500 hours for DEC's posted. The situation is getting pretty tight in the international market and they are starting to bend their rules, who knows if they would bend the age limit, after all they can get 5 more productive years from you. Start filling applications, who knows?
Good luck
