I also had a guy in my pilot training class that was 31 with a waiver. Again they are very rare but can happen. Tell that dumba$$ recruiter to take a look at the regs....it's his job! It still amazes me how dumb they can be.
I would try to get a number for OPS and talk to a pilot. They will be able get you in touch with someone who does hiring and actually knows ****.
For the most part, the same regs apply to the active/guard/reserve. Oh and the heavy pilots have to pass the same physical as the fighter pilots....I see that confused alot as well.
Goodluck, bro.
Actually, skip the recruiter. Contact a pilot in ops and find out who's in charge of the next UPT board. The only thing a recruiter does is handle the paperwork. They are useless in terms of finding out officer career info...especially for pilots!
