21 year Age rule, flexible or hard rule?
Hey all,
Was looking at American Eagle's recruitment page, and I notice them (and most other regionals) require you to be 21 years of age in order to apply. I have about 1000 hours, almost all multi turbine, but don't meet the age requirement (ya, go figure right? what the heck am I doing not traveling the world or something?). Is the 21 years of age requirement a hard rule, or is it flexible by a few months?
Cheers

ATP minimum age requirement is 23.
Maybe based on the company's requirements - some may vary. Sorry for the non-answer answer.

No worries, I'm not expecting people to know, I'm just taking a random stab. It wouldn't stop me from applying...I'm trying to get my 1000 mpic turbine first though, so the 21 year old rule won't apply to me by the time I'm interested anyway, I'm just curious.

You're right, my life is heading for a total dead end...

And are you actually signing for the aircraft when you're logging turbine PIC? Some places, well the only ones that matter, don't consider stick time to be PIC unless you're actually the Captain who is signing for the airplane.
