If you have a pulse, you have a chance.

You are the perfect candidate. Just when you start to get expensive, you must retire. However, at 55, a regional lifestyle will mess you up bad, especially if you have to commute. Up before dawn, six legs a day, don't eat and repeat.

They know you are not going anywhere, I think you'll be fine.

Majors hired folks that were 60.0+ after they had mandatory retired from other gigs, so I imagine 55 is a drop in the bucket at a regional.
