Most regional captains are older from what I've seen riding to work on Skywest and express jet. GoJet has some younger captains, but it's also a younger company.

I flew with a captain out of IAD who is 32.

Yeah the stack of captains at mesa is definitely getting younger. With the upgrades up to a April 2013 hire, I guess it's inevitable seeing as we're in the 600's for upgrades out of 850 total Pilots or so. A lot of good movement for guys.

Interesting. I guess I've just noticed a lot of 20's/30's captains in CLT, mostly PSA.

Haven't you been here long enough to know a little bit of the history?

All the 145s, 200s and Dashs that were parked, caused hundreds of captains to be downgraded?

Yeah I know. Just thought the super stagnation was across the board. Maybe worse at Mesa than some of the others.
