Average Age of New Hires

[Kingair1181]

Just wondering what ballpark average age is for a new hire at a regional. I know you always have a few ex military coming out who are in their 30's and some wonderkid who gets hired at 21 or less.

Youngest in my class was 23, oldest was late 30's, I was right about in the middle (out of 20) at 31.

I'd say mid twenties, but the spread is so large it is probably not very meaningful..tons of different backgrounds

 

[TEXAN AVIATOR]

I was 23 when hired. I'd say average is mid to late 20s.

30 when I was hired and 30 when I was furloughed, lets make this thread about the average age of a pilot who gets furloughed.

Surveying postings on flight info, I think it's 15 +/- 3 years

30 when I was hired and 30 when I was furloughed, lets make this thread about the average age of a pilot who gets furloughed.

Don't worry, you can always make up the slack working at a 135 carrier after you are forced to retire at age 60 from the regionals.

I'm am 20 and was hired a few months ago. I'm hoping to be at least 21 before I'm furloughed so that I can at least have a few drinks.

Our last class averaged 39 years old, range 29-46, average flight time 6000 hours

 

[U-I pilot]

class has 16 people. Age ranges 34-22. Three main groups.... 32-34 (5+/-)
26-28 (6+/-)
22-24 (5+/-)

Mainly the people that graduated in 2000, 2001, 2002 are the few years older folks....

 

[beech1900pilot]

I was 21 and still not furloughed

 

[Northern Lights]

Hired the first time at 25, Hired again at 28, furloughed at 29. Our class was early 20's - early 40's I think.

My class: 5 @ 23-27 and me...41! Oh, by the way, I quit after 25 weeks. I decided I could find another job that pays better than 6 bucks an hour and sleep in my own bed every night. As far as flying goes, I have more fun flying my Cherokee than a CRJ.
