Good luck to everyone applying.

I just got word from a most reliable source that while there will be age and time in service waivers, the waivers will be limited to a few months on both and will really only apply if you are a fixed wing pilot. Rotary folks will not get as much leeway. NO flight time waivers will be accepted.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

I would recommend all those interested apply and let the board say no. You certainly won't be selected if you don't apply. There have been many times in my career when folks said no and I applied anyway. Guess what - they were wrong and I was selected. Good Luck.
