WTF -
I'm struggling to understand the recruitment policies 'as advertised' for experienced B737NG FOs? I've got 5000hrs total and 2400 on B733/8 yet am deemed too old at 55 for an FO job for the majority of 'hungry' employers at the moment.
I could, at a push, see the old Training Risk argument being rolled out for non-type-rated positions ... but when you've got time in the seat and life experience???
As I said WTF!
Where is taking over 50s?
Even Ryanair don't seem interested...and if you check beyond the initial veneer of the job adverts one will find age limits for a lot of the current employers.
