It has not been rare for 20,000+ hour pilots, with deep wells of experience and excellent qualifications, to finish their careers in the right seat. This has been a brutal business over the past 35 years.

Hopefully the non tie wearing generation will have a better ride.
Hey cmon. I wear my tie...

For the line holders out there, how old was the youngest captain you ever flew with?
...and if I dare to ask, the oldest f/o?
..that's for both 76 and 74 types
In 2012 I flew with a 36 year old Captain on the 747.

Congrats to all who were hired. Get ready for a long haul with training. I was in the August 10 747 class, 6 out of the 24 haven't even started OE yet, and are headed back to the sim for PCs sometime soon. Also Senority means nothing here, guys in the class behind are finishing OE ahead of the 6 in the August class. I have no idea how they plan on training as many as they are planning this year. It took me 54 days from the end of training till OE and was lucky to get it done in one 14 day period. Anyways just a heads up on how things work here and good luck to all.

I just talked to a buddy in the Aug. 10th class. He is one of those heading for a PC with only 2 flights in the A/C. His OE was never completed before his currency ran out. That's just nuts to go back for a full PC after 6 months and only having flown twice. I hope they give you guys some latitude in your PC. I'd be very upset if they didn't at least let you get some sim time before having your PC.

So have the 6 that haven't started OE been sitting at home since October?

I was out the beginning of January watching a guy get OE who finished class in December. And then again towards the end of January with another guy who finished Miami in December. Both said all those senior to them were called but for some reason were unavailable.

For the 747, how long should you plan on training taking? I have heard 8 to 9 weeks throughout this forum. But is 8 weeks reasonable to expect? If you needed 3 days off during the beginning of week 9 would this be possible? I'm guessing that would be right before your final checkride and rather difficult.

I was Oct 12 - Dec 18. In my class there were a few that stayed longer. You could ask for specific days, but you'll find yourself messing up the puzzle if it wasn't an original scheduled day off. I left MIA on Dec 18 and have been in San Diego waiting OE. It's Feb and I don't see it this month. So I'm learning to sail, reading a Tony Robbins book on finances and finding ways to pay $2000 mortgage on a 1600 salary. It's exciting. I just cant' wait to get my pee pee slapped when I say "positive rate" on takeoff. You may want to lurk in ANC and get picked up for OE that way. My inexperienced two cents. Good Luck!
