Freight = less age limits?
In autumn 2000 I met a KLM 747 pilot who explained to me that he did his initial training being way over 30 (35 if I remember right) thus fulfilling his life dream to become a pro pilot.
This carrier needed pilots and was the only one who offered a training for guys over 30 so he took the chance.
However I have no clue what is the situation today but I strongly advocate the idea that you should relentlessly pursue your dreams.
