    Airline Pilots, is this scenario possible?

    I have a friend thats been with AA since '88. He is a first officer on the 777 for about 4 years. when he first became a first officer on the 777 he told me that the only ones holding a captain seat were in their late 50s. but thats when the bird was just coming on line.
