EAM you are right, going against the age limit wouldn't get you persoanlly anywhere, however I checked
www.lufthansa-pilot.de under Ready Entries
Voraussetzungen (sorry it's only in German
) so they don't mention the agelimit anymore only for abinitios it's still there. If you still find it there I am blind and, uups you better don't fly with me
Well at least on the paper there is no age discrimination.
