Whats the difference you ask????????????? The airplanes are safer now and the training has improved greatly so get off the whole, "oh my god a 600hr wonder kid"
PS I said 20 yrs ago I didnt realize how old I was so lets make it more like 40 or so years ago
I have made metion of this several times before. It use to be common to get hired at the majors in your late 20's. The advent of the regionals put off the fancy major airline job ten years to never. Also Keep in mind that no one really got hired with those times.
