Apply to NJA with 20,000+ hrs of 121 time and see how far you get. I've personally heard the answer. 1999-2006 management philosophy was a whole lot different. Now an honest question I haven't been told the answer; why would mgmt not want guys with 20,000 hrs? I can only come up with one answer, and it relates to the guys in their 70s the company genuinely would like to leave. NJA nolonger pairs 65+ with another 65+ on international trips, including Canada and Mexico.
