Some misinterpretation of my post is worthy of clarification.
.......whats all this about doors closing in front of you when you reach your thirties?never heard such rubbish in all my life!Sure you have at least 30 more years to be a skipper,whats the rush!
My post was referring to ability to move from one airline to another, not age vs command promotion. RTFQ.
I don't know the exact cut-off ages for recruitment by Easyjet, BA, Virgin, Emirates etc, but I do know that the older you are, the closer you get to those cut-offs.
Anyone have any of the cut-off ages? Please post here, if you do.
It is a myth that lo-co pilots fly more than anyone else.
......I work for a lo-co and my mates at BA (SH and LH) and Virgin fly more hours than I do.
I wasn't referring to flying hours. My concern would be in relation to many of the other factors leading to chronic fatigue - sectors, turnround times, roster patterns etc.
....and posting on PPRuNe.
