I've got to post the laughing kitty for that, I had to pull it out on the regional thread when somebody mentioned Timmy when an AE pilot boasted "we don't just take anybody at AE..."

AA at 26 going on 27, now 38. Scheduled to retire at #22.
It has been a wild ride, I still enjoy the flying, and would not change anything. Flying for the airlines is more than just a job, it is a lifestyle. Look at all the people on this forum, many with days off talking about.......Flying.
You may see many people *****, but they are still here.. Why?
I would like to see many improvements in our contract, however I recently sat down with an old childhood friend who is a Pediatrician. I grossed slightly more than him, and worked half the hours. We talked about our jobs, and he said he was a little envious. Primarily because he said I and another airline pilot he knows has such a passion and love for aviation. That is lacking in some many people doing so many different jobs.
You will ALWAYS find someone that makes more than you, even in some of the most peculiar jobs... However do what you enjoy in life, do what fulfills you. Money does not make the man (or women) nor does it buy happiness.
Tailwinds,
AA

My roommate in college interned at UAL and he told me there was a guy who got hired at 18. His dad was a super senior check airman. That's the youngest I've heard of anyone getting hired by a major.
That being said, most of us don't have those kind of connections. I think that 30 is a good age to aim for. Like someone else said, you have 35 years left to retirement and can most likely retire as a widebody CA or senior narrowbody CA. Personally, I missed that goal by 6 months. Best of luck to you.

On a related note...
Young Pilot here, always thinking about the future as a Pilot. So, I was wondering what's the ideal/realistic age (in a perfect world) to win a large lottery? Or, if you are one who already won Powerball or Mega Millions, at what age did you win it? I know several factors can affect when one wins it and there is no hard number regarding age, but I was curious as to what the average is.
