Why is this.
I understand if they would guarantee an upgrade in two years so that you would be 23, but I don't really get it.
You can work at Horizon, ExpressJet, Republic and be 20, but you can't work at skywest, or even mesa?

thanks.
Because they don't get enough applicants by requiring you be over 25. I don't know any 20 year olds that couldn't benefit from a few more years of "life" before being entrusted with expensive equipment and lives.
