You know the look a young regional captain gets from the passengers now and then. Wait for the look they will give their late 20's, early 30's Delta mainline captain. Now imagine that guy as the captain and the 45 year old military first officer with 20+ years of experience.

I'm 46 but, I think I was 31-32 when I checked out left seat on the DC-9. I got recalled 5 years later, then got the bid for the 75/76 when I was 42. When that training burst ended, there was a guy 2 years younger than me on the list. (Even though he's a Cubs fan, he's a good guy.
. )With that being the case, I'm sure there are plenty of captains under 40 out there, so wear a helmet.

They tell me to wear a helmet, but for different reasons.

....don't they know if they had come to me in friendship, the scum that had ruined their daughter would have been suffering this very day?

I just flew with a 36 yr old NYC M88A. We both think he's the youngest in the company for now
When I flew at CX, we had a 33 yr old B777TC(Training Captain….Line Check Airmen, same thing)!

I know a 764/763/762?/753/752 Captain at UAL who I don't believe has got to 40 yet. He was an 05 hire and I think upgraded at year 8.

There's a ua (Cal) female capt 764/etc I ran into once, nice as could be. Definitely mid 30s when upgraded. Hired around early 2000s I think.
