I sent in a resume @20 and was told I had to be 21.. Interviewed a couple weeks after 21 and am looking for 23 for the upgrade. Starting to fly in high school was really the only way to make it happen. Doing college in 3 years and flying enough to have more than 1000/200 won't happen unless you get a head start, but there are plenty that are getting on at 22/23 with the degree but only 500 hours or less (unless they spent a summer towing banners or some other way of flying a ton while taking a full school load). The trend is definately to the lower end, and will remain that way until the supply/demand curve changes and pay/mins come back up. I was the youngest in my class by a few years, but I do know of a few others who were hired @ 21 with a degree and have just talked with a few others sub 25. This is a PNCL though so keep in mind a good bit of the "recruiting" over the last year has been on college campuses.
