Perhaps an aviation expert will weigh in, but 28 seems awfully young to be at the helm of a large passenger aircraft.

You don't know much about the airline industry....especially, low-cost carriers.

You would be SHOCKED to know what starting salaries are for pilots that command most of the smaller, regional jets and turboprops.

A friend of mine dated one of those pilots, but he was in his 30s and flew a small commuter plane between two places like Scranton and Buffalo. I suppose I’d always presumed that to fly a large commercial jet one needed a significant number of hours flying and tons of experience. Most of the time when I fly, the pilots appear to be in their 50s or older.
