What were looking for on here is a debate on fact focusing on what is right not who is right. Personally abusive comments are inappropriate.

My last post was incorrect.

If a homosexual person could have joined the armed forces in 2000 and the cut off age for entry as a pilot into the RAF was 24 years and for the RN as a pilot 26 years, then the oldest possble age for a serving armed forces homosexual pilot currently is 35 years for the RAF and 37 for the RN and not36 as I previously said.

It still stands therfore that having a pilot entry scheme for non type rated and non qualified ( differently qualified ) service pilots only prevents homosexual pilots aged over 35 / 37 years from applying.

This managed entry scheme seems discriminatory on the basis of Race, Gender, Sexuality and Age.
