I think all the youth 'thing' is (in most cases- perhaps not all) a load of bollox!
At the school I am at you constantly hear all the chat about why the 30 somethings stand a better chance at the airline game than a young gun 21 year old like myself. The amounts of times I have had to bite my lip when i have heard someone say...'well no offence or anything.. you're only young aren't you, and airlines these days would rather take on some one a little older someone like me who's lived a little and has life experience!!!' CRAP!!! Or is it?!!! I have always thought and got the general impression that as long as your face fits, you have the licence, and can make an MD or a chief pilot realise you'll be an asset to the company then you stand as good a chance as any? Helped only if you've been brown nosing and forging contacts etc. Can anybody correct me or back me up as I'm sure all of us graduating with a frozen CPL IR and minimal hours will stand an equal chance?.....
