Apilot 2014
To make a proper comparision one must consider the year and age. In the early 70's very few 747 captains were under 50. As more aircraft came online the ages dropped. That you were 29 in 1984 has to be taken only in that year, as someone today may be only 24. Furthermore I think there is a difference between a major international passenger company and a freighter. Which side did you come from?
