would you feel at ease on an aircraft knowing that the pilot was a 22 year old ????,why you may ask ,,, well after watching a documentary on budget airline pilots,,
the majority of the pilots are in the early 20s ,,,

And if sure his reflexes and hand eye cordination would be better than someone in their late 50's
Exploitation of wages on younger pilots for cheap flights is a no no in my book. I do know the younger generations are brought up with technology, but what happens when the technology goes off??
Modern flying is so instrument based we are not that far off the joke of space travel being done by a man and a dog, the man is there to feed the dog and the dog is there to bite the man if he tries to touch the controls
So, your question. Young drivers are high-risk, ask any insurance company, because anyone can apply for a driving licence. I'm hoping pilots are screened for suitability and I know they have to pass spot checks for alcohol and drug levels. Ideal world, all the youngsters have to fly second seat until they've notched up their 1000 hours, and after that, why not? Age is no guarantee of ability, there are as many old fools as young ones, and 1000 hours is enough experience.
(I've flown on tons of budget flights in the last 5 years, never been struck by how young the pilots were
Zman, I cannot believe you made that comment about women parking
Unless you were talking about Spanish women, then okay, letting it pass
As for parking, see for yourself:

What Fonda said
Technology exists that makes a human pilot unnecessary - obsolete.
Pilots are there primarily because folks wouldn't fly on a 'robot' plane.
Personally - I'd be OK in a plane with NO pilot.
It'd eliminate the major cause of aircraft mishaps - Pilot Error.
Example -
The F-117 Stealth Fighter was unstable in all three axes...no human pilot could fly it.
The pilot's controls were basically a computer mouse which the pilot used to tell the onboard computer what he wanted the plane to do; the computer did the actual flying.
How well did that work?
During test flights the F-117 was accompanied by a chase plane with a pilot observing the flight.
While performing certain maneuvers, the chase plane pilot radioed the F-117 to return to base.
The test pilot asked why, as the tests weren't completed.
The observing pilot informed him that one of his vertical stabilizers had fallen off.
The plane had lost part of its flying surfaces and the computer had dealt with the situation so quickly & smoothly that the pilot was unaware his plane was falling apart!!
There are exceptions, of course.
Notably - there were two recent crashes in which the computer did the wrong thing.
Not sure that is such a great thing, a human pilot would have determined that something was very wrong and made an emergency landing before something even more catastrophic happened, saving the lives of all the passengers and crew.
The computer, would just keep flying until the whole wing collapsed and the plane plummets to the ground
Of course they could fly planes
Young pilots have parents that fly too
The mother could or mostly would of being pregnant
Whilst flying
The now twenty year olds have been flying since before birth most probably
The computer, would just keep flying until the whole wing collapsed and the plane plummets to the ground."
Quite likely no human pilot could've kept the plane from coming apart - most likely before he was aware that anything had happened.
Remember also, that plane was unstable in all three axes - it was unflyable (by a human) BEFORE it started coming apart.
A 'robot' plane should be able to detect such an incident, keep flying & make emergency landing arrangements.
An individual must be 16 years old to solo an aircraft, 17 years old to obtain a Private Pilot Certificate, 18 years old to obtain a Commercial Pilot Certificate and 23 years old to obtain an Airline Transport Certificate.
For American airlines, the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) imposes a minimum age of 21 years and 1,500 flight hours for commercial aircraft co-pilots. Applicants for an air/airline transport pilot certificate must be at least 23 years of age and undergo an additional forty hours' training.
Are you all so nieve
Alot more stringent tests to be able to fly
A car licence won't cut the mustard
Clouds and wind and cold and heat and updrafts an downdrafts an rain an lightening etc
Happening alot more where flying happens
And you have to do commercial test every year
How many car drivers could learn an do all that
And if sure his reflexes and hand eye cordination would be better than someone in their late 50's
