Cage,

I was wondering if i’d find anyone on here that has direct experience on a hiring board, or sponsoring an age waiver – so your comment stood out! I’m 32, just started my PPL and study prep for exams. Seems there are a handful of others pressed on time in similar “late bloomer” situations. After rushing my 1st unit, I have a better understanding of the general advice given to maximize your applicant package and hope you’re the “right” fit somewhere (some schmoozing expected).

Could you please expand on 1) the circumstances associated with pushing a waiver and 2) what makes the age factor specifically so difficult? Let’s assume hypothetical candidate is physically very fit with AFOQT/TABS scores 95+.

Thank you so much for the support. Hope it helps others too.

Hunter
