I know of a couple 24-25 year olds. Some were Captains and some were FOs. I also know someone hired below 3,000 TT with 300 121 TPIC @ 27 years old.

No military. Most had volunteer and company positions. Well networked.

I was 37 when I started and non military. Surprisingly looking at the seniority list I was one of the "young ones" in my class.

The "age window" was not very wide in 1979. I was the second-oldest at 30, and the only civilian in our new-hire class was the youngest at 25.

I was on a Skywest jumpseat last weekend and the Captain, an LCA, said that it takes approx 4 months from putting LCA on your application to getting an interview invite from DAL. They have a waiting list to become an LCA and its a revolving door. Take that for what it's worth.
