(IMHO it would be better to be young than have a fat logbook when we both have the same job, so that's a win for the younger guys)
- It does not matter.
Agree with the rest of your post. Eventually you'll figure out the top part of your post is really mistaken. The Delta Captains I've been flying with have resumes that are impressive, a few are astonishing.
Just saying a 4 day with a former SR-71 driver makes for interesting stories in between sterile cockpit.
I was told by a NWA pilot in my squadron (furlough bypass) that there was a formula based on age that favored the younger guys. They were assigned more points. He said they would have more time at the company and were more attractive. This was 07.
So Super was hired because of his qualifications, it was his boyish good looks!
