Can't do the oldest to youngest. UAL was hit with age discrimination law suit for not hiring anyone older than 30. Long time ago.
As part of the solution, can't use the age within a class anymore. If the training weenies try it, opening up UAL for another huge law suit. The last 4 social was used to introduce some method of randomness in each class. Could also use a roulette wheel as far as I know. Rock, paper scissors?

And how many "Captains" have they hired in the last 15 years ?

Besides, its cocktail hour.

Thanks for asking these questions, Cheddar. As a hopeful who has friends at all the majors and who has been researching the airline pilot career for about a year I didn't know the answers to these either. Sorry you get flamed for asking legitimate questions on an internet forum. Some people need to relax a bit and either answer the questions or ignore them.
Cheers.
Cheers.
