Okay, Li'l Miss Sunshine here is 26 years old; does her age matter?
Well, I asked Google, six ways from Sunday, for the average age of a commercial airline pilot (including regional); EVERY response was north of 43, so...
...ask me again: does her age matter? I believe it might.
If SHE was piloting that now Wreck of an aircraft, how did SHE get that opportunity?
I'll say this: can't recall the last time I saw a 26-year-old MALE commercial pilot, and I believe the next time I do, it'll be the 1st time I have.
So, what am I getting at? The better question may be: what part of DEI do you not understand?
It's well-established the greatest beneficiaries of DEI and "Affirmative Action" programs are white women, and Delta Airlines has been doin' the DEI since at least 2020 (https://search.app/qZwz6uXJ4whyiLLD8), to the loud applause of the knee-grow (as opposed to the real black) community in Atlanta and elsewhere.
Unsurprisingly, Delta has doubled down on their DEI commitment, saying it had nothing to do with the Toronto crash (https://search.app/Nd7QD8aV45DSHHwP7), which totaled the plane but caused no loss of life.
But, in an odd twist, Delta has offered $30K in compensation to passengers on that flight, who lost little more than their luggage, if that, even before the investigation into what caused the crash has completed (https://search.app/zsj7cy4bLxnGuvwG9).
I get the feeling SOME-body is looking to avoid a lawsuit, one in which Discovery, which might include deposing Delta execs about hiring policies, which allowed an "underage" female to sit in the left hand seat of a commercial aircraft, would prove embarrassing, hurt market share, and @ $2.3M ($30K times 76 passengers) is a more palatable price to pay if that can make it all go away.
It's my opinion that when a person books an airline flight, the information available to them shouid include the scheduled pilot's age, sex and years of experience. If you agree, please contact your congressmen / senators and let's make this disclosure a law.
I think we deserve disclosure. I wouldn't want a female pilot, myself. Unless maybe she was in her 60s with 40+ years of experience. I believe people have the right to know who has that much power over their well being and in their hands. Literally.
I recall somebody telling me it is around 1500 hours.

Either that or a younger pilot should always be paired with an older pilot.
