Bloody frustrating. At age 24 in Australia with 2000 hours on four engine bombers I was told by Ansett Airlines I was too old to join Ansett as a first officer. At age 27 I applied again with more hours and was told the upper age was now 26. Too old again. Reached age 60 flying 737's and was told too old now so bugger off on 60th birthday. Reached 67 and saw age limit go up to 65. Curses - foiled again. Now I see consideration of pilots going to 70 and I am bloody 76. I wish time would stop still for a few years and the next pilot retirement age might catch up with me...
