ANG ‘baby’ to an airline at 24? That’s really hard to do. I went through the entire process in 26 months (civies to end of AD orders). Shortest RTU and only 90 days AD after RTU.

I was mostly replying to the "25ish" and "7 years" comment, but it's doable. Especially if the person started flying early in life and went to a school like Embry-Riddle or LA Tech prior to getting hired.

OTS-UPT at 21-22 and out by 23-24. Get hired and drop mil. Or get through seasoning and get hired at 25-26.

Another 40-45%ish are military and ,correct me if i'm wrong but initial contract is 7 years so he/she cant be military.

That leaves us with the 5% strictly OTS civilian people. What was on their resume that set them apart from the thousands of pilots flying 121, 135, heavy ACMI operators, intl 91 and so on ?

I'm "wow"ed by people who make it so young.

Mil commitment is 10 yrs, after you earn your wings. Most are 32-34 if they leave AD when their commitment is up.

Thank you, I'm not familiar with the military process.

So that makes him/her a pure OTS hire.

Take care

Good for the 24 year olds. Talk about time value of money...

Anyone hired later and older might not feel the same though!

Good for them. Until they come rolling Into marina driving a 130 ft yatch w two dogs and 3 blondes lounging and the back of the transom reads “Plane to See” the only response... Probably an atrocious pilot. Jealous of that guy and Steve Hinton jr. And maybe that 24 year old now

Good for the 24 yo, however nothing beats decades of quality flight experience and a great resume, which I am certain there is an abundance of. The airline can do what they want here, but I am hearing them loud and clear when they hire a 24 yo.
