OK, just read quite a few posts from some people who were offended by a posting of mine. I just want to say I DO NOT think there is anything wrong with a young 23 yearold FO. More power to you for getting started at a great age! Earlier I had replied to someone asking about starting out at age 40 and to get to the point I said that LIFE experience for a 2nd career pilot was a definite plus. That is something that a 23 yearold does not have. I didnt say a 23 yearold pilot has no experience. I am aware that a 23 yearold could have a boatload of FLIGHT experience, and that I respect greatly. I was only giving some spirit to someone that might want to give this airline industry a try. So if any of the younger people here were offended I apologize. But I think my post was taken to heart a little to hard. I too am an older pilot/CFI at 36 and I have seen both types of people both immature and not. Bottom line is are you of good moral character and able to make good descisions (ADM) while flying an airplane safely? If yes, then I think you'll be a good airline pilot regardless if your 23 or 53. But what do I know, I am only a CFI sitting on the sidelines waiting to get into the game. Good luck to all.
