military reserve age requirement
 

Does anyone know what the age cut-off for ANG is? I am flying at a regional now but want to also fly military for some additional income.

It used to be that you had to be no older than 26 1/2 when you entered pilot training, but you could get a waiver if you were close. It's been quite a few years since I was in though, so things may have changed.


Beer30?

In recent years the age cutoff was 28, but this has been relaxed to early thirties due to pilot shortage I believe...but it may not stay that high for long. The Navy/USMC might still be 28.

If you can do it, do it, it will advance your civilian career a lot faster than sitting around waiting to upgrade or build PIC time at a regional.

You must start UPT before your 30th birthday. If you are doing it for the money, it's definitely for the wrong reasons. I enjoy guard flying(most days) but if I was in it for the money, I would not be happy overall.

Not doing it just for the money. I guess at 34 I'm too old anyway.

You still may be able to join in a non-flying capacity...

34 is also waiverable in the Army. Of course it would be RW, but something to think about.

If you're already flying professionally, you might be able to get a waiver for the Guard also. But don't waste any time.

I'm not sure what RW is

Rotoray Wing = Helos

This would be a lot of fun and while the flight time would not directly count for many major airlines, the military background is always a huge plus.

I agree with rickair7777, regardless if you are flying C-17s or UH-60s, the airline knows what kind of training that you have been through so they know that you have the RIGHT STUFF. Even though I have encountered some idiots out there that have there military wings, the numbers are low when it comes to meeting the quote unquote not so bright military pilots. Now if you are only 34, the guard and reserves are looking for pilots to fly Apaches, Blackhawks, etc. but once you enter into my orginization, you got to be in it to win it. Notice I said MY ORGANIZATION, I Love it more than anything, or any Fortune 500 Company out there, it has made me who I am today. So with me saying that, how deep are you willing to go, to see where this rabbit hole ends? If you have what it takes, you can be sent to pilot training down in Ft Rucker, AL. aka the forgotten land, but you better believe after that, you are going to end up in some foriegn land with a lot of sand and mountains searching and destroying the faces of evil, then we will allow you to come back to fly for the airlines so you can buy that Ferrari:-) Email me your resume at:

we can talk, as long as you do not have any felonies or stuff like that, and if you are in GOOD SHAPE, let's see. Take care, keep the dirty side down.

That was for Joeshmoe!!!!!!!!!!!
