Does anyone have the age of the current youngest pilot at Southwest? Interested to see where I would stand if I were hired sometime soon.
I sometimes wonder if being young is still a detriment as the hiring folks may fear that I (and other younger pilots) will want to bolt if the Big 3 call. I don't know how to properly convey that on an application that I have ZERO desire to fly wideobodies or long haul haha. I want to drive the 1.8 miles it is to the airport and am perfectly happy flying a 737 for 36 more years. I guess going to the Open House event is the only way to get my face in there and let them see I'm serious!
