I would even suggest that the regionals would love someone over 40 because they think there is less chance of you leaving for American or United and staffing in the next couple of years is going to be a tough proposition for most regionals out there.

Yes....and some more aggressively than others. My $.02: if you're considering, act sooner rather than later (seniority is everything in this business). Also, "they" are looking to fill classes and seats----age is far from a deal-breaker. Hope this helps.
