Do we really believe that " training, command and long haul experience" would really be an advantage ? After stating this, they then say you'll more than likly be sent to coventry on the A320.
I've got plenty of all three, but doubt in my mid 40 s I'd have a high chance of passing the selection detailed above.

I can see it now , being asked by some stuffy HR sycophant "as a mature pilot, why the #^^% would we hire you when we can have some cheap Easy meat who is 20 yrs your junior? "


FWIW, do they still (unofficially) abide by the must be under 49 at age at application or have they taken older candidates? With retirement @ 65 now I suspect they can't blatentally play the ageist card .
