iirc there is no such thing. You must not be 27 by the 1st of July the year you graduate. No waivers as it is in the Constitution.
The problem is not that there aren't enough candidates for UPT. The problem is that the Air Force is bleeding trained pilots who go on to make way more money flying for the airlines. WOs or enlisted pilots who will earn even less are even more likely to run away after getting some flight time.
