How come all of the RJ pilots are so young?
We all come out of a breeding farm just outside of Modesto, California. It’s just how we look. Seriously, there are young and old pilots flying RJ’s. The simple answer is that many Regional airlines like ExpressJet, Chataqua, Republic, Mesa, Eagle, Freedom, ASA, and SkyWest have lower hiring minimums (experience) than the larger carriers.
