I am in a similar situation as a few in this thread. I am thirty-one years old, and have bachelor's degree in aviation and am currently a master's candidate. My background includes former corporate pilot, Alaskan bush pilot and flight instructor. I currently fly for a regional airline; I have no idea whether I stand out enough over younger applicants so that I could have a unit entertain the notion of considering me. I finished my bachelor's late in life and other things made me push aside the military for some time. I know that there are guard units which are hurting for pilots, but I have no idea at this moment which ones are hurting or how to gain their trust so that they could vouch for me in order to obtain a waiver. Has anyone had any success in earning a pilot slot with a unit above age 30? I have to move extremely quickly to knock out the required tests and start talking to units....
