A 28yr old with 600TT and 100 A320SIC...has no business being in the cockpit of the germanwings 320...when I got to his position at a US airline I had well over 10,000 hours and pushing 40+. Heard ryanair had a 18yr old f/o...ladies and gentlemen we need mature, experienced, stable people flying this type of aircraft PERIOD.
Indeed, however the Airlines don't want 10,000 hour experienced pilots, they want crews who will work for reduced terms and conditions. This is the problem, as someone correctly pointed out previously, the industry needs to be fixed before worrying about the cockpit door.
