Call me crazy but I'm 57, retired, and looking to fly commercially. I have a decent pension so I can take the weak pay for a couple of years so I'm planning on upgrading my ratings & give it a shot. I currently have a PPL, SEL, IFR with 420TT. I have my class 1 medical and a TSA security check. I don't have a degree but I'm hoping a 30 year career at a major pharmaceutical co. will help offset that. Going the CFI route for a year is my choice of last resort. Hopefully a regional will give me a look once I have my hours & ratings upgraded (based on the age 60 to 65 change). If not then I may consider Gulfstream although most here seem to hate them for the PFT. It may be my best chance to actually fly and after a year or 2, I could move to 135 and fly until I can't. Still in the planning stage so all thoughts and suggestions are welcome...... and you can call me gramps if it makes you fell better !!
