I'm 44 and yes I wouldn't mind getting on with a major. As I have posted before, I will be getting my PPL this summer at an FBO, then transfer, if you will to ATP at SUA. From that point I will go thru their 90 day Airline Career Pilot Program ACPP. From that point I hope to instruct for a period of time and then interview with a regional.

At the 3 to 5 year point, evaluate where I am, the company and the industry. Then, I will make the decision to either stay where I am or look for greener pastures, ie FedEx or UPS. Either way, it's all good.
