Hired at 30. In the top 10% at 54, top 1% at 60, top 1 at 65. Just shows you what a difference a few years can make.
I recently ran the numbers for a friend of mine who's in his mid 30s. He would be in the top 150 or so. Every year you add to his age adds 100-300 pilots. So if you're under 35, you'll have excellent seniority prospects, but that number dwindles fairly rapidly for every year above that.
