Nothing like being 23 with 5,000 hours to turbine time ?
I have known and met too many pilots and people in other industries that had no trouble getting hired into jobs after 50 y/o age. The only thing I can add is to network, practice, practice, practice and more practice on selling yourself. I am more concerned with seeing a old dog perform new tricks than saying I have tried all the tricks and nothings working. Good luck!
