BoeingDreamer,
For your info. I was a late starter, exactly 38 when I started the TR course (with NO flying exp before). Been here 2.5yrs now and I am not the only one.......though the majority are straight from College
Speaking to some in the know, and they do actually prefer those with a little more worldly experience behind them...
Sorry you did not make it this time. Good luck for the future.
