Just wanted to thank all the posters there. Great and encouraging info for the most part. I'm 39, coming out of Alaska flying and wrenching with 3500 hrs tt (But it's almost all single engine day VFR).
It is encouraging, even in these crummy times, to think there's a shot at flying something a little heavier than a Beaver someday.
For the original poster- I wrote a bit about Alaska flying jobs under an APCF thread regarding same. Check it out. Hope it helps or is encouraging.
As far as age in case you go North for a bit- don't worry too much. Yes, there's some youngsters (we had a pilot who could fly but wasn't allowed to drive the company vans because of insurance!) but Alaska passengers really like to see old grizzled looking pilots sitting up front!
Cheers,
