Youngest 747 captain that you know of ?

[Dirty Sanchez]

I upgraded on the 747 at age 27, I was just wondering if anyone knew anyone younger?

Maybe your question should have been "Who is the lowest paid, youngest, 747 captain?" $110 an hour!

Pilotbrain,

Time to pony up another 15 bucks for a new FI name. Funny replies on this thread. :beer:

Youngest 74 Captain

Wow I'm impressed. SAT also had the youngest 74 Capt. several years ago. I'd like to know, who did you do all your PFT with?

I remember when I was doing my flight training, and reading an article in AOPA about the youngest guy ever getting a CE-500 type rating at 18 years old. I also remember thinking 'Well ********************....if my Daddy would give me $20,000 bucks I'd have a CE-500 type rating too. Biiiiiig f-ing deal."

Whatever. LOL

I got it now, got confused or maybe I'm just getting old and start to forget things...

Hey Kid, ya missed it by a couple of years...I talked to one of our old pilots..and he said one of the foreign airlines or cargo airlines hired 22-23 yr old street guys 20 years ago. Sorry, had a busy day and when he said who cares about it...I had to agree, went back to teaching the blind about contaminated data...

I bet you wear your uniform to the market too ;-)
Its amazing that airlines (no matter how small) still hire psychopath's.

When I commute into SLC, I'll sometimes go to Albertsons on the way to my crashpad and pick up food.
I'm in uniform and I do it this way because I'm too F'n lazy (and cheap) to go change clothes first.I'm praying this doesn't put me in the same boat as this tool. (Although in one of his post-hedoes claim to work at the same airline that I do.)

I don't know his name, but there is a UPS pilot who upgraded to the 747 at 23. I read an articile in an aviation magazine years ago about this guy. While in college he won some scholarship that paid for training in a DC-8. I can't remember if it was a type rating or an FE rating. Anyway, right after that UPS started their own airline and he was one of the very first pilots hired, on the -8. And a short time later, he was upgraded to Captain on the 747. And has probably been there ever since.
