You guys are so jealous it's not even funny. Age has nothing to do with anything.
Do you comply with the regs?
Do you have a safe attitude and have shown complete competancy ?
Do you have enough specific experience, this is important, you cannot take a 747 captain and put him directly into short haul on new aircraft and new routes. If you've got a few thousand hours (which means 3-4 years) on the same aircraft and routes then go for it.
My uncle got long haul command on a 767 at 28 years old, by that stage he'd been flying for 10 years, he only flew with a single carrier after getting his ATP's , that's a long time on the same fleet.
To you guys who think young pilots are dangerous go get either a bomb shelter or a reality check
