Yes the quality is lower, the age is older yadda yadda . They want ideal candidates, and it's understandable. There is a shortage of millenials with a 4yr degree , a clean record and eligible for an rATP, living in their parent's basement.
Many of these people in this age range are not interested in working for other people. They want their weekends, nights, and holidays free from work. College may not be an option, and they darn sure don't see a reason to take flying lessons!
