British Airways 747 pilots... How Young do they get??!!
Going through security at JFK UAL terminal 7 yesterday, I was intermixed between a BA flight crew operating a 747 flight to LHR. CA and F/O were in front, F/As were behind me. OK... the F/O didn't look old enough to shave! I asked the F/As just how young BA pilots were getting, she also mentioned she didn't think he had hit puberty. LOL.
CA looked like he was a "normal" age for 747 skipper, mid 40s. I'd put him at age 24ish.
How young are the 747 fleet's junior pilots, and how is this even possible at BA? At most airlines the 747 schedules are very senior. Here at AA our youngest 777 F/O is MAYBE 42, if that. Youngest CA is prob in his early 50s.
In any case, kudos to him!
