I've got a great corporate flying gig averaging about 250-300 hours a year but there is just too much uncertainty. That coupled with my age (34) and the hiring to come makes it a "now or never" scenario.

Add another corporate guy to the list. My wife and I have struggled with the decision but based on our reading of the tea leaves we have decided to try to make the jump.

U guys are talking about age like is something to worry, age over beauty...experience over inexperience...age has nothing to do with hiring or been hired is what your record, stability and the way you handle yourself when the sh**t hits the fan, you guys should go to Australia or even Europe, age is nothing, don't put those mental blocks on yourself....!!!!

Personally I think my age will be a pro, not a con. If I'm hired at 35 I have 30 years that I could work! To me they would rather hire someone that can have a 30 yr career vs hiring someone that's 50-55 that only can put in 10-15 yrs. I may be way off though. With significant retirements looming I would think they want the younger pilot over the older to give themselves some breathing room

The hard part will be getting the interview in the first place. In theory, they shouldn't know my age at all until the see me in person. I worry about lots of things when it comes to getting on at Delta, but age isn't one of them.
