If you trust a 22-24 year old junior officer straight out of a service academy to fly a supersonic aircraft with weapons that can level a city, how can you not trust a 26 year old pilot at the helm of commercial aircraft who's been flying since she was 13? Perhaps it'd be best to look into her background before immediately judging her competency in flying by her age.

Well...considering that they need an enormous amount of flight hours to get where they are; I'm sure they're pretty safe. It's those guys that have been doing for 30 years that worry me sometimes (only because of complacency). They were put there by someone who obviously thought their skills were worthy enough to keep people safe...That's just my 2 cents...p.s. Chelsey Sullenberger rocks!

PVT James Strait - True story! Actual experience takes tons and tons of hours and there's no possible way to experience all the scenarios that could happen...In my opinion I think the more experience you have the more stress you can handle...
