Lol - I suppose it's only legal for the government to discriminate based on
age.

When you fill out the job application, just tell them it's impolite to
request that information from a woman. :-)

There are a lot more piloting jobs listed here:
http://www.atlasaviation.com/jobs%20fixed/fixed%20wing%20jobs%20page%201.htm

This is the first time I've seen such a rich listing of open piloting
positions.

From the Job announcement : " Flies aircraft at low-level over
rugged, mountainous terrain under marginal visual conditions. Lands and
takes off
from marginal backcountry airstrips in remote areas. "

Sounds like a typical backcountry day during fire season. Sheesh! I
pay to do that kind of flying in my time off.

It's legal for any employer to do that if they have good evidence that the job
requires employees in a certain age bracket.

Question, How do people obtain 1,000 in type or even 250 in type they must
have deep pockets or be extremely well connected. I want to know the secret.

I have 950 in one type (Maule) and about 400 (Cherokee) in another, and
about 100 in the Apache/Aztec family. Not hard but it took me twelve years.

Still, with out the experience how is one able to get a job that requires a
said amount of time in type I have been looking at requirements most are
over 200 hours in type required. It would cost a fortune to get 200 hours in
a CJ1 or something similar.

You take a lower paying job that gets you the time.

Which is precisely why piloting jobs traditionally don't pay well until you
get to the highest echelons...

Thank You. I am excited and apprehensive at the same time. and no I am
not going to tell where or what as I do not want anyone where I
currently work to know where I am going.
