Let me ask you a question. I ran into a guy the other day. Maybe 40yrs old weighs 298, honestly in not that great of shape, a CFi, and already knows he will be in ERJ, said he starts training in fall. What do you make of that? I was under the impression you don't know what your flying until first day of class. Second, as someone already mentioned the physical is like a NASA physical. Not that I have any problems with people overweight, but I had a friend get bounced on the physical for blood pressure being too high. Not even considered high by norm med standards. I also believe someone else posted about having too high of pressure and getting bounced on the med. Just thought it was interesting and wanted to know what some others thought. I am bit sceptical if he is telling the truth.

(since someone asked me to explain. . .)
Considering they allow the oldest person in the room to select aircraft and base, it would suck to get the bottom pickings. . . but that's life, and no big deal.

Thats true, it is oldest = most senior in training. However, if you look at it like this it isnt so bad. If the oldest guy is 30 and he gets his pick (that you wanted when you are 24 and the youngest) oh well. When you are 30 you will already have 6 years seniority and probably would have had the chance to transfer there. In this game, it's all about who is most senior.
