Small nit, but you must be hired before your 31st birthday, so the max age
is 30 to get started, unless you have prior military experience.

This limit is because of manditory (almost) retirement at 56.

The retirement age of 56 is already half gone. The FAA can keep people
they want past that. That will only expand over the next few years.
