As far as command goes i am sure there are very very good reasons to have to be age limits in place as also requirements of total hours and mimimum hours on type.
In some places the only thing that is looked at is 'the minimum' required for everything/not necessarily the proficiency
having the ATP is of prime impotance to transfer seats we all know,but proficiency is no less a factor,probably practically of more significance!!
as long as the criteria is being met as far as paperwork is concerned,u r thru.And thats why there are records of sorts...
youngest capt,youngest chk pilot,tri,tre!!
so if its really any achievement as viewed against older capts touching down with NLG. maybe in the latter case she just got older with the same level of proficiency that she got her command with...like someone said...maybe just a bad day!
debate is open
