USA?
When I was 28 I had roughly 500 hours. I didn't get my first non-flight instructing job until I was 31. I'm now 40 with 7400 hours. I've flown to 5 continents and 44 countries, have 4 jet types(747-4, MD11, DA20, and recently the A300). It's all about attitude and perseverance. Get out there and make it happen or listen to the nay sayers. I went from flight instruction to part135 to heavies, to my dream job(very recently)... Never touched a regional airliner... Never took no for an answer. It's your life, make it happen!
