The older folks generally had kids at ages where they were at least able to dress themselves, pack a lunch, and get to the bus stop in the morning. Hell, some were out of high school already.
Still, everyone’s situation is different so
I think some sort of random draw is best. Whether that’s SSN, picking straws, or B.B. at the front of the room with one of those lottery number picking ping pong ball machines is fine with me. I guess the nice thing about SSN is you have some rough idea where you will stand going into class.

Brand S uses age but since they also do a nearly-monthly system bid that lets pilots bid to move to bases with open spots, it's not a huge issue. Even the lowest pilot in the class will get 8-12 chances to bid for their base of choice during their first year. Routine system bids makes a huge positive difference.

I may be 220ish lb but I would do that in a heartbeat! In fact... let's make it a 100yd dash! Any takers??? I may not look pretty doing it but damn I'm fast.
