Question

Do u know what is the maximum age limit to recruit co-pilots by airlines?Do airlines recruit co-pilots even at the age of 27-28?Or do airlines prefer younger people?

Answer 1

You need to be at least 16 years old to begin training as a pilot. After you complete your training and obtain your license, you can join as a pilot and work your way upwards.
A promotion to the position of captain/ commander can come after about eight to 10 years of service. In a private airline, you may take only half this time, since the flying hours that a pilot puts in here are much higher.
The captain is responsible for the aircraft, crew and passengers.
The various licenses that you require for as you spend more years in the profession will be discussed in subsequent parts of this series.
