3 of the 4 FOs I worked with (a DAL regional) this month all had upcoming interviews at DAL. All 3 were on their 20s.
I know it's anecdotal, but I would guess the average age (from at least the regionals) is upper 20s. Of the 20 or so guys/girls I know personally that have been hired from where I work, I'd say 15 of the 20 were 20-something FOs. Just seems to be what Delta prefers right now.

Why the preference for less expierenced pilots? When I was hired at a regional 10 years ago, 1000 PIC min. was almost the only way to get a shot at the interview. It took me 7 years to upgrade and by then 1000 PIC wasn't the magic number anymore. Maybe I should hide my PIC experience
2001-2011 was essentially the lost decade of aviation. 10years of devestsated careers and lives in the industry. And now they wonder why there's a pilot shortage coming? Who doesn't think that paying 100-200k for education and experience to earn poverty wages with no career progression in sight is a great idea??!?

LCA supposedly says "well culture here at Delta is that Copilot does walkaround unless pre-arranged with the Captain, but in the absence of an arrangement, copilot walks"
Apparently new hire didn't think that was appropriate and wanted to start "changing culture". According to LCA, said new hire is no longer with Delta (could have been multiple factors as one supposes if a newhire really takes that stance, probably going to have other "culture" issues with the company).

LCA I recently flew with told the story about a newhire on the narrow body fleet in ATL. Said new-hire was let go during IOE for supposedly blowing off walk-arounds. When confronted, said pilot said " I was a captain at my regional for over 10 yrs, and non-flying pilot always did the walk-arounds."

Luckily, the vast majority that I have worked with have a great attitude throughout their career.
