In a nutshell - this is where I came in. Most of the contracting jobs for FOs are age limited...typically between 45-50. Only Qatar goes to 55 openly. So as far as the 'usual suspects' in China, Korea, Indonesia, Turkey etc are concerned I'm too old.
Maybe a genuine pilot shortage might change this but at the moment supply exceeds demand .
In hindsight, don't move without Command where the age ranges are more flexible

You'll have twice the fun and make twice the money.
You will stop paying money to HMRC, which is very easy to get used to.
I'd ring Parc aviation, or Rishworth for starters.
