I am doing preliminary research & a CX wannabe from S.E Asia.What a great forum, a treasure trove of information. Fantastic work & am very appreciative of the time & effort rendered by all.
I probably share Shenlin's predicament,with 3000+ hours mainly in multi engine pistons & single engine turbo props w/o any jet (100hrs). However this is because I am a military pilot with a major portion of my hours dedicated to instructing ab-initio & multi engine rather than operational flying.I am 36 & will be 38 when I leave with CPL/ATPL.Will CX consider this in their experience commenstruate with age in their screening criteria.Will I even have a chance to be shortlisted?Although I do have former colleagues ,even from RAAF making it there although probably younger.
Alternative would be to join a regional to get 1000 hrs but that will be 2 years at least and a long detour.
Or I can go for a self sponsored 737 type rating.
Can anyone with similar military flying background in CX shed some light on this.
