No I don't agree with you. They can TELL that we dont have 20 years of experience behind us. What I mean is many of us are in our early/mid 20s and obviously look our age. Yes, some pax dont like it and dont have a prob telling it to our face "arent you too young" but honestly that doesnt stop them from buying another ticket next time around. In the end, it's just too convenient and cheap to choose driving over flying.

as far as the "new mins"... I dont know why they bother, I doubt that they're really sticking with it (or most other regionals for that matter.) I know a few ARe strict about their published mins, but all five I've interviewed with earlier this year weren't.
