I often wonder if people who make these comments are trying to weed out the competition with other pilots..... I am 42 and have finally landed a 121 job flying twin turbines... It is not a huge company but within the next 24 months I expect to pick up 1400 hours of turbine ME time with a 121 operator.... this should position me well to pick up a FO job on one of the regionals which is where I expect to spend the rest of flying career.
