I know it's anecdotal, but I would guess the average age (from at least the regionals) is upper 20s. Of the 20 or so guys/girls I know personally that have been hired from where I work, I'd say 15 of the 20 were 20-something FOs. Just seems to be what Delta prefers right now.
Why the preference for less expierenced pilots? When I was hired at a regional 10 years ago, 1000 PIC min. was almost the only way to get a shot at the interview. It took me 7 years to upgrade and by then 1000 PIC wasn't the magic number anymore. Maybe I should hide my PIC experience
