Do tell!
So how old were you when you made left seat, then? I'll be fifty....
I was fifty before I got the left seat in a major.
I was 27 when I got the call From American.
The interview was canceled due to the Oil Embargo.
I was assured that I would be called when the hiring started again.
I wasn't. Did you know that the majors wouldn't hire anyone over 31?
It was a very long time to the DL left seat, and I got there purely due
to luck. Right place-right time.
In 1977 I was too old to get hired.
In 2006 I was too old to fly.
Just think Huck; if it goes to age 70, you have 20 years in the left seat.
