Do they require a 'Boeing Standardization Course' going for $49,999 to get hired there?

Probably all F-18 time. That's equivalent to about 5000 hours of cargo time.

In the next couple years I think that average age of new hires is going to start dropping drastically. Lots of 23-25 yr old regional captains out there. Almost everyone in my new hire class fresh out of college.
