Here's a question for you Navy types. I'm a 27 year old employed ATPL holder with around 3000 hours total. Very keen to go mil and have spent the past six months knocking on the door of every senior RAF officer I know (and some I don't!) to try to get an over-age exemption for direct-entry pilot. Finally got a conclusive 'no' last week from Innsworth, however I have had it suggested (not by Innsworth) that I try the RN. Does anybody know whether they would entertain the idea of an over-age exemption for pilot entry, subject to all else being equal? Have sent a letter to Rosyth at the suggestion of the local CIO, but any other ideas? All feedback (positive or otherwise) appreciated.
Ta very much.
CRX.
