[QUOTE=cajuntugster;112824]I have found the drillships are similar to pilot groups. Regardless of your quals they do not want people too long in the tooth.[/QUOTE]
Not true.I know some 55-63 year old guys that were hired within the last year. They were highly qualified licensed guys and at this point some of these companies just need a license to meet manning. Where some of the older guys screw up and have their resume put in the round file before it is ever reviewed is they brag about having 25+years of experience when 10 years is plenty. Not a good idea to put down 25 years for several reasons. Age discrimination goes on for one thing and some may think the more experienced guy may not be adaptable.
