I'm also 40 years old and interested in exploring feasibility of going to work with a regional as a career change. I see the 1500 hour part 121 rule approaching so I'm aware I need to get the ball rolling, if possible. I'm not current, I know that I need a new medical, BFR and instrument competency check.
I'm looking for advice on what I need to do to make myself marketable again to the regionals (training, recent experience, etc.). Thoughts and advice are greatly appreciated.
Your story is very similar to mine. I was in the same boat as you, just a little less total & multi times. I started flying again May this year.
The 1st link is the thread that I posted back in April 2011 & got a lot of good responses, which encouraged me to get started again.

I just recently went to the LAX job Fair on 09/24/11 & I posted again my view of the JOB fair.

So, these are the results of my research so far, hopefully it may help you a little bit...........
