For contrast, compare that to the number hired in 2022 (the first full year of hiring post-Covid) who were under 30 : 485. Of those, 24 pilots were hired under the age of 25. Those are the lottery winners - but out of ~2400 hired that year, 24 ain't that many.
A 40 year career would be lucrative here sure. But I couldn’t do this job for 40 years.
