Currently I have 600hrs 121 SIC flying a ME turbo prop with 2400TT. 1000 of that ME TurboProp 135 from the right seat. I am early early 40s. This is second career though I got my Private when I was 19.
Most people have been very optimistic and upbeat when I ask this but, they are usually sitting right next to me. So I ask the cold harsh winds of internet reality for your opinions also? Do I have a shot at flying for a major?

Maybe... you cant win if you dont play.....
There are other companies to work for though... If you are set only ONE type of flying in your career you might be disappointed.
