I'm glad to be out of the regional world, but I will say the military is stupid to turn away good pilots simply on entry age. There are lots of guys would take a reserve slot flying the heavies. Leave the fighters and direct combat stuff to the youngsters. If a guy can fly a 737/767 or any number of RJ, Biz jet and turboprop equivalents all over the world carrying passengers; what's the reason they can't fly the same plane for the military wearing a flight suit instead of a company uniform?
