why is it that the upper age limit for a pilot entering training is 30 but for a nav it has been lowered to 26? so according to the RAF's logic you can be a fast jet pilot at 32 but you have to be 4-5 years younger by the time you hit the streets as a nav, so you're telling me i have to be under 30 to take a VC-10 from the UK in a straight line to the US or the gulf, but i can take a tornado down to low level, rip the arse out of it and land safely at 30+. does this make sense to anyone????
