I dont buy it. Must be false.
Apparently you can be through the school system at age 17 in Ethiopia. An integrated ATPL(A) course can be done in 12-18 months if all runs smooth. Let's say 19 when he started flying. At 900hrs a year it would be possible. Just saying, the math can work out. So let's not jump to conclusions.
