I have known a few 27 year old B737 cap at United in the mid '90s. I was 29 when I upgraded. Does not mean squat in this business. One cycle your are on top and the next you are going backwards...The only time you can claim a successful career is on your retirement date. Soon you will fly with twice furlough pilots who can explaine the ups and down of this industry better than I can. Stay humble my friend.
