UPT age????

[scottdonley]

I am currently a regional pilot and been rushing a reserve unit for about a year and a half. The unit kept putting off taking a new UPT guy, but just announced that they are going to have interviews in March. The only problem with that is I turn 30 in April and have been told that u have to be at pilot training by age 30. Wondering what, if any options I have, can I get a wavier? I have heard that it is possible and then some say it isn't. Thanks for the help!!!

Waiver is "technically" possible, however we had 2 ********************-hot engineers in our squadron get turned down...if they don't get approved with all the reccomendations, etc. that they had I don't know who does...

Has guard/reserve off the street hiring slowed down since VSP and Palace Chase has blown up?

No because each unit has set amount of UPT slots given each year or 2. It just varies on each state.

Had a non-prior guy in my AMS class that was 31 and going to pilot training for an A-10. I am sure there is more to the story but there is always hope.
