I would prefer a pilot with way more hours than he has. Co-pilot at 19 I'm ok with.

I'm sure they have more time in the seat than I do, but I'd prefer someone a bit more experienced.

Several lifetimes ago I did that as a profession.
Real answer: Depends on the company. The US makes the best pilots in the world, some of the business' that employ them do some shady shit. |

Budget airline.
Of course they hire younger, less experienced pilots. Those ticket prices aren't going to cut themselves. |

He is fluent in Tagalog, Pashtun, and several dialects spoken in Delhi, so he can call tech support without distracting the Pilot. |

There's something to be said for quick reflexes and young eyes. There's also something to be said for tons of on the job experience, a large catalog of problems and solutions, and a lifelong habit of making the right decision, as opposed to the quick decision.
I'd prefer to have a combination of the two, but if I have to choose I'll take the latter. |

More and more older pilots are going to have grown up with all of the computer-driven solutions doing it all for them. Fewer and fewer 'Sully' type pilots in existence. |

are they good at their job? This. This. For a very very long time military pilots were that age or younger. I would rather have a good stick and rudder PILOT that can fly in an emergency, than a 30,000 hour Capt. that can't think for shit if something breaks. Hours and age do not necessarily indicate skill. Experience is always a plus. I knew a crop duster pilot who could make an airplane sing and he was all of 22-23 in 1996. He is still flying today, though I am not sure in what capacity. |

Now, I'm putting epidurals in kids born after I finished med school and realizing that I'm significantly older than many new surgeons on the other side of the ether screen. I even elected to get "arthritic man seats" at the Volbeat/Killswitch Engage concert instead of standing on the floor. Get off my lawn.

Lol, most of you who have stepped aboard a CRJ in the last 10 years have most likely had a flight crew who's combined age is less than 60. A bunch of the guys I went to flight school with were flying for a commercial airline at 24, they recruited straight out of the school. Most of them are 737, A320/1, and DC10/MD11 drivers now.

He meant training, because if using experience in an emergency and not training all of the fighter pilots turned Airline captains would be looking for the ejection handle.

Lol, I'm ready to face the hate, but, with as much experience/hours he has, combined with being a lead/senior instructor in the Airbus, I expect him to be able to make that landing. I don't think he's a hero at all, he's been flying for approaching half a century, he better be good after that much time. But what do I know, I'm just a GA pilot with a few hundred hours... |

Like others here I was a Captain way younger than her, and at her age I had been a 727 Captain for over a year.. Before that I had been Captain and instructor on several large turboprops, even flying some of those overseas, and I lived to tell my stories.
Age itself has little to do with the abilities of a pilot, as I know some pilots way older and more experienced than me that I wouldn't fly with under any circumstance! On the other hand I know some pilots way younger than me that are now flying for the majors that I would fly anywhere with, anytime. As long as any pilot is motivated, and completes an airline training course, they should be more than able to safely operate the airplane. Now is that same new captain going to make the same decisions as me? No, not at all, but I was there at one time and that got me the experience that I rely on today. |
