Interesting reading about the qualifications etc. needed to join the Airlines.
When the demand for Pilots is high the requirements drop quite a bit.
In 1964 there was a big surge in Domestic Aviation and the 2 Major Airlines were recruiting as quickly as they could get pilots.
There was one guy on my DC3 course who had a bare commercial and 175 hrs TT and was 28 years old!!
It seemed almost that if you had a pulse and a commercial you were in.
Things sure have changed in the few years since then.
Them were the good old days!!!
