Ha! Go the "Donald".
I was once an unemployed 28 year old with a CPL and a brand new instrument rating. When applying (essentially feeling out) to the major airlines, the common theme was, if you didn't have at least 3000 hours ATPL by age 25, then forget it.
The challenges for operators now, is that after decades of driving down conditions, along with the very success of air transport to the masses, there just ain't enough aviation tragics out there to fill the upcoming void.
My, how things have changed.
