Old Age Syndrome
Hi all,
I am a late starter in aviation. I'm in my mid 30's with 2500 TT, 1950 multi, 1200 turbine, 1090 multi command, hold CASA, JAA and FAA ATPL, have 2 uni degrees with strong management experience and skill, certainly meet the requirements.
However I too got rejected by QF due to not being competitive enough to those on file.![Pukey](https://www.pprune.org/images/smilies/pukey.gif)
As far as I see, I agree age do have a great emphasis in the selection process by QF.
Pitty, QF have just pass over a great pilot and a excellent manager. Now I will go for CX and SQ
Good luck all.
Cheers!

Age versus experience is not relevant.
Average ages have been higher, average experience lower (noted the Ansett pilots changed this ) on most courses in the recent past.
Stick with it guys!
