Not meaning to drag this through further however some of you are really just asking for it coming back and back and having a pop at me. There ARE currently direct entry positions within EVA contrary to some opinions on this site. El Captain, I am personally aware of captains who are over 60 here (main focus would be on domestic & intra asian routes however). I dont know what your angle is here to advise otherwise, no doubt you have a self serving one though. My interest is to provide honest information to would be interested joiners.
