Im not involved in the process, I’m just saying what I would think could be a reason. Find a qualified scientist who knows how the brain works and ask them what science says about the chances of an older, low experienced pilot needing more training. Or ask an airline training department about their statistics.
I’m confident I could meet the benchmark for flying F35’s in the RAF, despite my age. Should I feel discriminated against if they don’t feel I’m worth taking a risk on compared to an 18-year-old?
The truth is, we live in the real world, not in one which serves our personal individual circumstances. I accept that these days such a statement will get me cancelled, so I offer my unreserved apologies in advance. That’s me out.
