Age?

I have a question regarding the 'age' issue.

I am currently studying the IB (International Baccalaureate) programme in Denmark. By the time i graduate, I will be 19 years old.

I understand that Netjets (OAA) does not take in applications based on predicted grades. This means I will probably have to take 6 - 12 months of 'free time' meaning studying aviation books, or doing something to pass time!

I fail to see how age is a determening factor in becoming a pilot. As I hope to see myself flying for Netjets in the future years, this is an issue that greatly concerns me. Surely, they review the applicants individual personality and personal skills - not their birth date?

I hope someone can 'enlighten' me.
