That wasn't what the comment or thread was about. He is talking about a career change into aviation, specifically Ameriflight. Re-read my comment... I wasn't trying to say others pay more, although there definitely are operators that do pay more. My schedule and QOL were considerably better first year at ExpressJet, than it was at Ameriflight. And second year at ExpressJet was much more than Ameriflight, not even counting the benefits (loss of license/medical, health insurance was far superior, 401k match, non-rev benefits, etc etc)

But to stay on topic, they will hire regardless of your age, and you will do some serious flying. Some runs are really low time, so that would be a drawback if you're trying to build time fast to move on. Upgrade can be quick if you are willing to move.

Save as much money as you can now... you will need it getting started in this career path.
