So I have a pretty specific question regarding age limits. I have looked over what people have previously wrote and read the instructions and messages regarding the STA-21 application. But there seems to be a bit of a gray area for me. I am trying to figure out when exactly I am too old for the pilot program. My b-day is July 1st when the packages are due, I will be 27 this year. So I know I will need to request a waiver because my intention is to apply for the Pilot as a target option with Core as an alternate. The instruction as I read it says that you need to be able to be commissioned by your 29th birthday. Which depending upon when you attend NSI and start school would be possible because I would take less then the 36 months at school (I have my degree nearly complete with an associates already).
So my question is, should I even bother applying or do you think I would be passed over by younger candidates? I have almost 300 hours commercial ASEL, AMEL, and IFR.
