Gear Puller said "In 1964 upgrade time was insanely fast. I think there was a guy that got hired at 21 and made captain at 23 or so."

Gear Puller,

As a new flight engineer, the Captain I flew with told me of the time he was a new hire flight engineer on the 707 in the mid 60s. The Capt, Fo and he wanted to rent a car on a layover. They needed one of the flight attendants to rent the car, none of them was 25 years old and the car rental company would not rent them a car!

Congrats to all the recalls. Welcome Back!
