Like I wrote earlier, I’ve had my app looked at 3 times or more. Attended job fairs. Heck, even there as soon as you walk up and they see your age they try to get rid of you.
How old are you Blackhawk?
I'm almost 51, so I assume the majors won't give me a chance. So once I'm on with a regional, I'm gonna start going after the LCC's pretty hard. At my age, and not prior military, I don't think I have a shot at the big boys.
