Im not concerned about age....one of my bestest buddies was well over 30 when he started BOC....and he came top....
But the difference with him was that he passed grading, he passed everything....
This bloke failed initial selection....what chance that he'll pass BRNC, BOC etc etc.... there is a reason why he failed and that is he is not good enough....the Flying Training selection process is tried and tested and works....
