Maybe the person was talking about being a 767 captain for Delta Vitual Air Lines.......

Wide body Canadian Capt - 24
Knew someone a few years ago that became a wide body Capt at a Canadian Airlines at 24. Of course that was when the exhange rate was at 60% of the US, so for us in the states that would really have been 40.

We can all name a guy who sailed in in the right place, right time in the past, but who currently holds that title today (5/23/10)?
We've got a 29 year old 76 CA on this thread ('LostInAsia') at a foreign carrier, and a 24 year old 76 FO ('HA717') too. Does anyone know of someone younger in a widebody seat?
I don't think widebody pilots are special, but the seat is generally harder to attain at a very young age, so that's why I ask for widebody only.

I hate to be the grammar Nazi, but reading this entire post is akin to fingernails on a chalkboard and makes me worry about our profession.
