Yes you guys were correct. I didn’t realize the 21 age requirement applied to non 141 applicants.I wasn’t thinking about the age factor more so the time requirements.

Point still stands if they are 18 and have 3 years till they hit 21 for a restricted that in itself is probably too late to hop on the boat of this hiring wave. Not to mention it’ll be another 2 years to get unrestricted that they be stuck at a regional for before they can move up. It’s good experience. But if the advice and decisions being made are solely to jump on the hiring wave and get to a major asap there’s no best choice. Each path has different opportunities and the decisions and advice should absolutely not be weighted using the current trend of the industry because it can always change over night and it almost certainly won’t be the same in 3-5 years as it is today. Whether good or bad
