I have been training now for over a year at one of the main flight training schools. Over the year I have noticed that the industry is steadily improving in terms of jobs available for young ATPL holders. The airlines donīt seem to have any interest whatsoever in even considering the older pilots training at this school. It leads me to think why are these people 35 and over even considering competing against these younger people who are obviously in a far better postion to land these first jobs. I suppose the old saying of "canīt teach an old dog new tricks" comes into play when they select these people.

Any thoughts???
