Re: PIA Boeing 747 Pilots
According to Boeing and Singapore Airlines; the youngest Captain on B-747 was Captain Peter Leo. He received his command on the Classic B-747-200 in 1973 when he had just turned 26 years old and retired in 2004 while commanding B-744. Singapore Airlines retiring age is 62 and Captain Peter Leo accumulated a little more than 22,000 flying hours as a Captain on B-747-200/300/400.

beats the KLM lady
PIA guy wil be flying mid-80s vintage classic 747 of second hand category which were stored in the desert for quite a while before PIA took them on, PIA have been flying them for a decade now.
And the fact KLM pilot was a WOMAN flying largets ailriner and latest aircrfat of that time, in todays term a woman or man of that age flying an A380 would have matched that.
KLM woman in her early 20s could also have been on the 742 or 743.
Just found this video, a commercial of Lufthansa. Have a look at 03:27. The lady F/O is way under 30!
