..I disagree..Having done this move myself, and watched a few of my senior colleaques fail their training, I can tell you from experience that it is not so easy..20+ years on the CRJ is not going to help you much, when learning to fly an airplane that´s built a half a century ago..Boeing is a completely different beast, especially the earlier ones..
..Age and experience usually helps you in aviation..Sometimes not..
