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.
Delta prefers these young, inexperienced pilots so they can brainwash them. Plain and simple. It's the only reason they would take them over more experience and qualified candidates.
