Coincidentally, Pilot Credentials only asks if one has graduated high school, which most legal experts say is the best way to avoid any potential issue, at least until an offer of employment is made.

Im sure this has been hashed out before, but the thought did occur to me given the stats of most new hires being under 40.
This has already been litigated...and the airlines won.
