Start working on your Flight Instructor Certificates and Ratings, preferably at a place that will hire you after your check ride.
You'll be able to wrap a Flight Review into the process (two birds, one stone).
Then start teaching. You'll be in the right seat of an RJ in no time, with the majors right around the corner.
Think you'll be to old for the majors by then? I'll be 54 this year and I start at a Legacy next month.
Don't waste your time with 135 (a vast majority of them suck anyway, ask me how I know), unless they offer a quick upgrade to the left seat to build PIC time, or are willing to fund your ATP, when the time comes.
Good luck, we're all counting on you.
I'm so impressed to read your own story.
Also I'm thankful for your sincere advice and warm-hearted comments on me.
I got an impression that in the U.S., as far as a person can prove his/her competency and suitability, long-time of career break or age over 40 might not matter.
Like your suggestion, if I persue my aviation career again, I will consider doing CFI course as an option #1.
Big Congratulations on your promotion to a legacy!!
Thank you very much, Captain!
