With ref to SQ ages...If you were Singaporean you had to wait until your were 26 (see above posting) and do your service to your country... But if you are Malaysian there is no service required...and I remember a 21 year old FO...but as far as a 27 year old B744 skipper? Unlikely unless he was an expat with a lot of "time" in his log book...but knowing how the recruitment gang worked... seems like a rumour. the other question here to the journo is why is it important?
