Sorry you missed my point, I was trying not to be ageist.
If a lack of drive and ambition is not evident then don't even think about becoming a pilot as you need those in spades.
As someone who has had worked as a recruitment consultant in the past, I know that HR departments need something to build upon.
In addition if the chief pilot is sitting in the interview he is also thinking can I spend hours in the cockpit sitting with this chap being bored to tears about the intracracy of polish table tennis balls compared to the chinese makes.
To sit in an interview you need to be proud of what you have done (not arrogant) otherwise they will tear you to shreds.
Surely you want to make a statement about yourself, not let the interviewer make up his own mind.
By the way I am 34.
