Thanks for the comments .... I think the age will change by 2009 but it still may be too late for me as it will be a risk for any regional to invest in me. I've thought about 135 but I'm too far from the 1200TT (I'm at 420). The problem I'm struggling with is which way to go with my additional ratings. If the regionals were a decent possibility, then comm ME and more time and ATP training would be the way to go but thats alot to invest when nothing is guaranteed. It seems the smart route would be to get my CFII just in case so I could build time toward the 135. I certainly don't like the thought that I'd be screwing someone out of a paying job.
