This is what I got so far:

 

"I'm not quite sure on the reasons but I can tell you that all VAs I have been at and that I have looked at have this age limit. Whether it be TUIfly virtual, LHFSpilots, Spanair etc.

I guess it is to try and keep a certain level of professionalism and keep out some of the people who only see flight simulation as a game."

 

"I remember a while back a thread questioned the effect of 8 - 12 hour long haul flights on our members sat behind computers for that space of time.

One answer, I recall, was that was one reason we have a minimum age of 16 was that it was considered that members at that age were old enough to judge for themselves the effects of long haul or overnight flights."

well... thats why I never fly long haul lol but it might be fun if I go about my life while the plane flys... also I failed the ryanair exam :(

I remember that it was kind of difficult, however, British Airways VA also has an exam and it the same difficulty but you need a higher score to be accepted. When I took the exam I needed 18/20 to pass.
