With all that vast experience for sure!

Have you seen a late 50's early 60s get hired for charter/corporate work?

I have not been in the business for over a decade, however I can not imagine being in that age range a disadvantage.

Retired Airline pilots enter the 704/604 world all the time, especially if they were forced out at a certain age.

My advice is stop asking every couple of weeks about age limitations and just do it. You have 1 life, don't live to regret.

OMNRF is hiring older guys these days. Some of the new pilots are older than the ones who have retired.
