Can't remember the last time I actually caught sight of the Captain when sitting in 14D. Do they have their date of birth imprinted on their hats or something? Really now, who cares? Flown heaps in GA with very young 'Captains' and always assumed that they had adequate experience and had gone through all the CASA checks which enabled them to fly RPT services. Of course the older one gets, the younger the pilots (and doctors etc) look. Would be far more concerned with the idea of having 4 x 18 yo FAs on board - although perhaps DJ won't be rostering such younguns on together after the fiasco in Melbourne the other week.
