Personally, I definitely think there is age discrimination in this industry. Warranted or not it’s there. Why are 23-25 year old FO’s who can barely fly a damn RJ from the right seat yet get hired at a major but guys who are very experienced and are still sharp as a tack struggle to get an interview. idk it’s the Mesa stink, If they’re just terrible interviewers or something in between but I’ve heard from multiple people in HR and hiring boards that prefer a younger pilot since they’re ”future” proof. This is coming from a 22 Y/O FO that came here to get quick PIC and wants to take advantage of the bias.
