I don't think the airlines having a problem hiring a 50 year old person who is sharp and current with their flying. I was at an interview session last week at a 121 carrier and I did meet some gents at the interview who were older-carrier changers and it didn't seem to be a problem, except one didn't pass the sim.

I am like most, parttime flyer and fulltime elsewhere. They did question my parttime status during the interview, but I think its the quality of your flying and your winning personality(JK) that they are looking for. Either that or the fact that my pulse was good got me the job offer...
