Now tell me; would this have happened 2 yrs ago? An ex Navy bud of mine retired legacy Captain, 63 yrs old, just got hired as 767-ER Captain off the street by a Middle Eastern Airline. He had not flown or had a medical for 5 yrs. He was contacted by some int'l search company and offered the job. BTW they made him a check airman. There is growing shortage and it is coming to the US. Airlines will have to sweeten the pot in order to attract future pilots. Those who do not will be hard pressed to fill empty seats.
