I started instructing at about 36 and at 38 I got my first regional job. Once I got in things started happening real quick. Some of the guys in my class got hired with the majors within 2 years. Your only 36 you have almost 30 years of airline flying ahead of you, I'd say you have a long career in front of you if you choose. Even If you stay with the regionals, yeah the pay kinda sucks at first but your gonna make captain and you can make a decent living on captain's pay. If you get on with a good regional maybe you'll decide to stay there, not everybody wants to fly with the majors. I'v been exactly where you are today and I say you have a great career right there in front of you, I went for it and it paid off alot quicker than I imagined. Good Luck. By the way , there were two guys in my class in there mid forties.
