I haven't been to Kit Darbys site in many years but back in 2002 when I use to still subscribe to those publications the average age of new hires at the majors/legacies was 37. Now it could be much higher or even less. I don't really know. I can't imagine that is would be less unless they were passing up a generation of pilots who have patiently waited at the regionals since 9/11.

If the retirement age is raised to 65 you can bet that whatever it is now the age will raise by 5 years.
