6) If one is over 35 years old then starting a flying career at a regional is considered risky. There is not enough time to get a decent payback on a typical training investment and there's no guarantee you are going to make it to a major airline. As Skyhigh and others point out, the odds are rather against making it to a major as he likes to say "2000 jobs for 60,000 applicants" or something like that. Getting to a major is plan that starts early and carries numerous prerequisites many of which are not equilaterally available.
