I was surprised by the lack of an upper age limit......so TGA is in with a chance!

I should apply and see what happens when the 60 year old hodad rolls up with all the other bright young things!
What a wonderful opportunity for some would be young commercial helicopter pilots! Interesting that Bristow are going the ab initio route and not looking at the cadre of existing commercial pilots. A bit of the heli Jesuits in that methinks... "Give me the boy, (or girl Reg) and I'll show you the man (or woman Reg)! :

My necessaries are embark'd: farewell. Adieu! I have too grieved a heart to take a tedious leave.

Interesting,
In somewhere around 1970 I decided that Helicopters were the future and that is what I wanted to fly.
I further decided that, to fly helicopters, the Navy was the place to be.
The entry requirements then were almost identical to those for Bristows now.
