So, what is the magic age that the airlines won't hire beyond? When are you too old for them? (Aside from age 65)

We had a 60 year old in class at Delta. That was in the spring of 2008.

Back in about 2002, I flew with an F/O who was 56, said he was hired at age 53. He was former Eastern, Kiwi and Air Atlanta.

Got hired by NK at 52 in April. Of course some Just For Men and the Spanx undershirt I wore under my suit to the interview helped!

They make Spanx for men? I thought that was for women?

They do make it for men. VX even has it on our crew uniform ordering website so we can all fit into our "fabulous!" uniforms.

(seriously, we do)

HAHAHAH Seriously laughing!! But makes sense if your average 40 year old airline pilot tried to wear your guys uniforms it would look like 5 gallons of wet mashed potatoes stuffed in a 1 pound ziploc bag.
