I am 36 and I recently got hired by Crossair. Have only 230 hrs including 50 hrs multi on a Seneca. I didn't know anybody who could play the vitamine B game for me.
If you REALLY want to fly, you'll find a job sooner or later. May be not the 200'000 US$ job with just 50 block hours a month on a 747-400, but you finally get paid by what you love....and that's flying folks !
Good luck to all my "old" fellas !
