Im sure the FO appreciates having his name put on the internet.
fixed... sorry about that.

Anyhoo... Most new hires here at major airlines tend to be not younger than 25-26, with the average being around age 30. How do pilots at BA and other airlines get in so young? And not just that - but how do they get away with getting a gig on long haul widebody? Usually, it takes several years to acquire enough seniority to fly that equipment here. As a new hire, you'd be starting usually as F/O on MD80/737.
