Hell...let's push for 70!!! kidding of course. I think it is great the younger people are so driven and have worked hard to get to a position so young. Having said that....a lot of this industry is luck of the draw. I know many people who worked and still work hard for 25 years to even upgrade, this thread is not meant as a slap in the face. It just depends on what airline and the timing. I got hired as 767 FO at age 28 because that was the Junior airplane at my company. Are their people out there that have worked harder to get there? I guarantee it. It's a crazy industry.

This thread is bogus, we all know that there needs to be "inflation" (age 65) adjustments made post 12/2007.
