By and large, yes it is "kids". Any regional new hire class will typically be much more weighted to those in their 20's as opposed to those of more advanced age. Yes, I've worked for $19.25/hour. What's the point? |

Age 70 will actually not be a big factor, even in the unlikely event it comes to pass. Few pilots would even want to work anywhere near 70, and even fewer could pass the medical and sim.

I honestly don't think any ATP/1500 rule is worth the paper it's written on.
I expect any number of the following to continue bid-nes as usual: 1. College training exemptions, lead by ERAU, UND, et al. 2. Military trained exemptions 3. Airline sponsored training exemptions 4. Ab initio program exemptions 5. Multi-Pilot License exemptions 6. "Emergency" exemptions when airlines scream they have to cancel flights since they can't find any more kids who are qualified and want to work for $20k. |
If you are willing to live in the Middle East or China things are pretty bright, ALPA has said this is the biggest threat to the livelihood of American pilots. Airlines from these countries are buying twice the amount of airplanes they really need in hopes of capturing the North American international markets.
