Age is not on my side but it sounds like waivers exist for those who are between 30-35 years old. I have heard of some who left a major airline after they got on the line and some who waited until after their probationary period to follow this path. Does anyone have any experience or advice doing this specifically? I would like to complete the AFOQT and TBAS prior to starting class in January if I choose to pursue this. Any meaningful insight would be greatly appreciated.
