So ... Who payed for your training so far rawrawhammer? probably someone over 30 i would bet.
Now I can see why some Airlines would want to employ older people if the young ones show the attitude you have just put across.
i would say the reason is there are so many 30+ doing there CPL would show that opportunities exist for life experience... Not some secret agenda against pimple faces.
I'm on the borderline so i don't know who's side i should be on (sarcas) I guess i should ask my younger GF that i stole off a 22YO.
