Exclamation 46 years old with 1500h

hi guys
Anybody here from the regionals who can tell me if a pilot who is 46 years old with 1500h and a Bachelor's degree can be hired easy?

I don't see why not if you have the qualifications.

No problem at a regional, take your pick, you'll be hired immediately (assuming no big skeletons).

You could probably even get hired at a major eventually, but whether it would be worth it in the long run would depend on relative seniority and where you want to live.

There were guys born in the late 1950s in my new hire class at Endeavor. If you want to fly, any regional will take you with open arms right now.

The kid behind the counter may say "Sir, we're not hiring supervisors right now".

I was hired at Comair when I was 41 and PSA at 58. At Comair, my times when hired were 1450 TT with 250 ME. It sounds like you have a decent chance assuming no previous problems.

Thank you
Bozo the Pilot, can you tell me a little bit about your career? 4 years to an Airbus is great! When did you start flying? Training, first job etc....
Appreciate it
