Does anyone know when the age limit for serving NCA to apply for pilot changed to be the exact same as DE? As I understand the DE limit was always 26.5, but serving aircrew had up until 35? It's a step in the wrong direction IMO. There are a lot of switched on NCA who already have a high level of airmanship with a lot more to offer. The Army, however, will recruit pilots up to 30, who could potentially end up captaining an Apache, which I'm sure at very least would take as much training as an AT, SH or FJ mate. Is there a logic behind the RAF's decision? Thoughts?
