At 24, Boca pilot is one of youngest U.S. jetliner captains
Hired two years ago as a copilot for SkyKing, a small operation with 10 jets, Crowley made his first flight as captain on Jan. 28 from West Palm Beach to Worcester, Mass. His parents rode along. (www.sun-sentinel.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
I have to admit I am a little jealous! :)
The title really does not mean much. It only means that he meets the minimums. Don't get me wrong, I am happy for Mr. Crowley and hope that he matures further into a well rounded airman. However, let's not lose site of the fact that with age comes experience you cannot gain anywhere else.
If a more experienced pilot were flying with him, I would expect Mr. Crowley to use the more experienced pilot as a source of information.
Just because you have 3,000 hours does not mean you are well rounded with your judgement.
Mr. Crowley, congratulations on your fourth bar. Now, go show folks that you deserve them by continuing to learn, and don't ever let the word "captain" become part of your ego.
Blue skies.

The same could be said of the 40 year old captain with 12000 hours. Anyone who stops growing when the 4th strip is added will find trouble ahead. Ego will be the only thing that can bring him down
You are using ego incorrectly. Ego is good. An ego that is not intact is what you are referring to here. Delusion.
Now that is living your dream!
Happiness is achieved by doing what you love, as long as you do it well. Congratulations Captain Crowley. May the next 40 years of flying be joyful
