One last question and I'll leave you guys alone:
Is age a large factor when it comes to new pilots? When I finally graduate (probably in 2011!) I'll be 28. Will that impede my chances when competing against other rookie pilots younger than me?
Thanks a lot for answering my questions, you guys have been a big help. It is a pleasure serving this county. Thanks for paying your taxes, because you'll be paying for my flight training!
